Leaving the Institute
The pro-rata holiday entitlement for staff leaving after a years’ service is based on completed, or partially completed, weeks of service during the holiday year in question (rounded down to the nearest half or whole day). Before you leave the Institute’s employment, the Institute may require you to take any holiday due or any part of it, or, you may not be able to take any holiday you request during your notice period. You will be paid up to a maximum of 10 days accrued holiday entitlement on termination of employment.
If you are dismissed by the Institute for gross misconduct or if you leave without working out your notice period, you will only be entitled to any accrued statutory leave entitlement less any Bank Holidays, unless written permission has otherwise been granted.
If your employment is terminated during or at the end of your probationary period, then the Institute will make a payment to you in respect of any accrued (at the rate of one-twelfth of your annual entitlement each month) but unused statutory holiday entitlement only.
In cases where a member of staff leaving has exceeded their holiday entitlement, the Institute will make an equivalent deduction from any final payment.
Please note, the period between Christmas and New Year is not included in any calculations of outstanding holiday entitlement.
