Statutory Leave (a) For the purposes of calculating entitlement to leave under this clause, the Employment Business leave year runs from 1 December to 30 November in each calendar year.
(b) Under the Working Time Regulations 1998, the Temporary Worker is entitled to 5.6 weeks paid leave. Any and all entitlement to leave must be taken during the course of the leave year in which it accrues and none may be carried forward to the next year.
(c) Entitlement to paid leave under the Working Time Regulations 1998 accrues in proportion to the number of normal working hours (i.e. those which do not attract overtime rates of pay) worked continuously by the Temporary Worker on Assignment during the leave year. The amount of the payment to which the Temporary Worker is entitled in respect of such leave is calculated in accordance with and in proportion to the number of hours which he works on Assignment.
(d) Where the Temporary Worker wishes to take leave s/he should notify the Employment Business in writing of the dates of his/her intended absence. The amount of notice which the Temporary Worker is required to give should be at least 2 weeks. Occasionally you may be asked to defer your holiday due to the requirements of the Client. If this is the case you will be notified as soon as possible. You will always be allowed to take your full entitlement before the end of the year.
(e) Where a Bank Holiday or other public holiday falls during an Assignment and the Temporary Worker does not work on that day, the Bank Holiday or other public holiday shall count as part of the Temporary Worker’s paid annual leave entitlement.
(f) If the Temporary Worker leaves the engagement of the Employment Business with an outstanding paid holiday entitlement then s/he will, in addition to any other sums to which s/he may be entitled be paid a sum representing pay for the paid holiday entitlement outstanding. If the Temporary Worker leaves the engagement of the Employment Business having taken more than the accumulated paid holiday entitlement for the current holiday year then a sum equivalent to pay for the additional paid holiday taken will be deducted from any final payment to the Temporary Worker and the balance (if any) will be paid to him/her.
(g) None of the provisions of this clause regarding the statutory entitlement to paid leave shall affect the Temporary Worker’s status as a self-employed worker.

In the case of sick leave, this section shall only apply when the period of illness or injury is in excess of two (2) days and a note from a physician may be required. The period of vacation so displaced shall be taken at a mutually agreed time. An employee intending to claim displaced vacation leave must advise the Employer and provide necessary documentation within seven (7) days of returning to work.

3. For compassionate leave, any evidence that the employer reasonably requires.
7.3.5 The employee is not entitled to take more than 10 days of paid xxxxx’s leave (1/26th of the nominal hours worked by the employee) per year, regardless of the amount of personal leave the employee has accumulated over time.
7.3.6 An employee may request to cash out any amount of paid personal/xxxxx’s leave that they have accrued that is excess of 3/52 of the number of nominal hours worked over the past 12 months.
