Adoption

106. Annual Leave & Public Holidays During Adoption Leave

Contractual annual leave allowance continues to accrue during periods of ordinary adoption leave. No contractual annual leave allowance will accrue for periods of additional adoption leave, see Regulation F11. Public and privilege holidays falling during unpaid leave will be unpaid.

During periods of additional adoption leave when contractual leave does not accrue, statutory leave will accrue accordingly (4 week’s leave per annum). Accrued statutory leave cannot be carried forward into a new leave year.

Should an officer return to work on reduced hours, credits of annual leave accrued prior to and during adoption leave will be proportionate to the contract in force at the time and will not be reduced on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the newly contracted hours, i.e. an officer working full time prior to taking adoption leave, who reduces his/her hours to half time on return to work, will have accrued his/her annual leave at a daily rate of 7.24 hours and will be credited at 7.24 hours daily rate, not at the new half time rate of 3.42 hours.
