One month only on each claim.

PLEASE NOTE THE BELOW DOES NOT APPLY TO CASUAL EMPLOYEE'S OR TEACHERS.

The Council has taken the decision that from the 1 April 2015 there will be a change to how holiday pay is calculated for those who undertake regular overtime. You will notice on the overtime sheet there is now a separate box to complete to pay an element of overtime when employee's are on holiday (first 20 days of leave within there leave year).

At the end of 2014 a Tribunal considered an important issue of whether overtime should be factored into holiday pay. The judgment was that regular non-guaranteed overtime (i.e. overtime, which if offered, the employee is obliged by contract to work) should be included in the calculation of holiday pay as it could be classed as ‘normal’ pay.

Frequently Asked Questions for employees can be found here.

Shared Parental Leave

Shared Parental Leave (SPL) is designed to give parents more choice and flexibility in how they share the care of their child in the first year following birth or adoption.

SPL allows mothers, fathers, partners and adopters to choose how to share a period of leave between them after their child is born or matched / placed for adoption. This could include both parents being off work at the same time and/or taking it in turns to have periods of leave to look after the child.
