Holiday Entitlement

At J & E Hall we offer our employees an annual holiday entitlement of 26 days paid holiday (plus national bank holidays) in any holiday year. For part time employees, your annual leave and bank holiday entitlement will be pro-rata based on the number of days worked in a working week.

Upon achievement of 5 years’ continuous service, employees will be awarded one extra day of annual leave making their holiday entitlement total 27 days.

J & E Hall encourages employees to use all available holiday entitlement within the relevant holiday year but also recognises that sometimes for both business and personal reasons the flexibility of carrying over some leave is a sought after benefit we are happy to offer.

More information on holidays can be found within our Employee Handbook, available on Cascade.

The holiday year runs from January to December. Any holiday left within your entitlement as of 31 December, up to a maximum of 5 days, will transfer automatically into the next holiday year on Cascade our self-service holiday system. For part time employees, the maximum days allowed to be carried over depends on your working days per week as below:

In order to facilitate certain site shut down periods some operations have fixed holidays agreed throughout the year and you will be advised of these local agreements. For example the Company operates a Christmas shut down period between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. As is Company policy, you will be required to allocate part of your allowance to this period if there is no customer requirement for you to work. Exact days will be confirmed each January on an annual basis.

Annual Holidays must be taken at such times as are convenient to the running of the business and must be agreed with the Supervisor/Manager beforehand and booked through Cascade in order to adequately allocate and organise work to minimise disruption to the operation. Please speak to your Line Manager for any local agreements.
