NG Healthcare Staff Handbook

Your Holidays

• Your holiday requests will be granted/declined on the Careblox System. Once you have submitted your annual leave request you must check if it has been accepted or declined and not presume that your request has been automatically accepted.

What if I want to request holidays that I have not accrued?

• If you request holidays before you have accrued them and they are granted, they will be granted as ‘deferred paid holiday’. This means you will not receive any payment at the time you take them and they will be paid either at the end of the holiday year or when you leave employment if the holiday has been accrued by this time.

What if I want to change my booked holidays?

Holidays are not usually changeable, so you should plan ahead and consider your request carefully. However, there are some reasons when you may be able to change your requested holidays as follows: Exceptional Personal Circumstances You can apply to change under this heading but you must show exceptional circumstances that have stopped you taking your holiday, for instance, bereavement, illness etc at the time of the intended holiday. The request is to be made to your unit manager and the decision is discretionary. •
