In the case of fixed term employees, this is prorated for the proportion of the year that the employee is employed for (for example, a nine month fixed term full time employment provides an entitlement of up to 30 hours during the period of fixed term employment). Fixed term employees who have a contract for less than six months do not have an entitlement to professional development leave, unless the employer has specifically agreed to provide this.
