Common use of Holiday and illness Clause in Contracts

Holiday and illness. 1. An employee who cannot perform the duties agreed upon due to illness will accrue hours’ holiday over the statutory minimum number of hours’ holiday, i.e. four times the agreed number of working hours per week. The hours’ holiday in excess of the statutory entitlement will accrue over the first six months of the sick leave. Time periods will be added up where there is less than a month between them. After that period the employee who cannot perform his duties, due to illness, for only a part of the agreed number of working hours will accrue hours’ holiday in proportion to the hours he does perform his duties.
