Accrual of annual leave while on Parental Leave. (a) Employees on extended parental leave will accrue annual leave in accordance with the provisions of the Holidays Act 2003. Annual leave accrued while on a period of extended parental leave and taken in the first 12 months following the employee’s return to work will be paid at a rate equivalent to the higher of the employee’s average weekly earnings or their ordinary daily pay. If an employee was on shortened hours before the commencement of parental leave, the calculation for the accrual of annual leave will be based on their normal salary prior to the shortened hours. If they wish to do so, employees returning from parental leave will be encouraged to take their annual leave accrued while on parental leave during the first 12 months after they return. This provides options to use paid leave to work reduced hours while receiving the equivalent of a full- time salary. Employees returning from parental leave will be provided the opportunity to apply to return to their position on a part time basis, job share basis, and work from home or flexible working hours. Approval for such requests will not be unreasonably withheld and while all requests will be considered in good faith there may be occasions where genuine business requirements, consistent with legislation, mean a request is declined.
