CISI encourages staff to take their annual leave, however there may be occasions when you have no leave left or you would like to take a ‘CISI Day’. A ‘CISI Day’ is where you have the option to borrow up to two half days a year, and then repay the hours by working either earlier and/or later than your normal hours.
You need to agree with your line manager when you will work these hours, which should be within five working days after your ‘CISI Day’. A half day is equal half your normal daily working hours (e.g. if you work 7 hours a day it is 3 ½ hours).
Employees, who work 3 days or less, have the option to take one CISI Day a year (i.e. half a day).
Employees need to be performing their role at a ‘Good’ or above rating, as defined in the Performance Management Scheme, to take a ‘CISI Day’.
‘CISI Days’ should ideally be booked in advance on E-DAYS, unless this is not practical, but must be agreed with your line manager, and retrospectively be added to E-DAYS. This is not available for employees on contracts of less than one year.
