As we start the 2021 annual leave allowance, please plan ahead and diarise time off from the business.

It is important for everyone to spread annual leave proportionally throughout the year to avoid any issues in the later part of 2021, which may impact the business. Therefore, with the exception of employees who work shifts in Cement operations and have a separate arrangement, all employees must have taken at least one week of their 2021 annual leave entitlement by the end of June. All annual leave carried over from 2020 must also have been used by then (although this should be used much sooner if possible).

Follow the normal procedure for booking annual leave and confirm your chosen days of annual leave with your Manager.

This applies to employees who are on furlough leave (they will receive full pay for holidays taken on furlough) as well as those still at work.
