performance of your duties. 
  

	10	HOLIDAYS AND HOLIDAY PAY 

  

	10.1	The Company’s holiday year runs from 1 January to 31 December. In addition to the usual English bank and public holidays, in each calendar year of employment you are entitled to 25 days annual paid holidays.

	10.3	Subject as aforesaid where you are employed for part of a calendar year only - either in your first year or on termination of your employment - you will be entitled to paid holiday pro rata to the number of complete
days worked by you in the relevant calendar year. The Company uses as the basis for calculating the value of a day’s pay the following formula: 


current annual salary divided by 260 
  

	10.4	On the termination of your employment, where you have taken more or less than your holiday entitlement as calculated above, an adjustment based on your normal rate of pay will be made in your final pay.



  
 3 









	10.5	The adjustment will be either by way of deduction if you have taken more than your entitlement, or by way of an additional payment where you have taken less than your entitlement, calculated on a pro rata basis by
reference to the number of days’ holiday in respect of which such adjustment is made. 

  

	10.6	The Company may require you to use up any accrued but untaken holiday during your notice period; any payment in lieu of accrued holiday will be at the Company’s discretion.

	11.2	For Statutory Sick Pay (“SSP”) purposes your normal working days are Monday to Friday.

discuss with Human Resources and the CEO the results of the examination. You consent to the Company processing sensitive personal data relating to the results of such examination. You further agree that you will co-operate with the Company’s
reasonable requests to permit your own GP or other medical consultant to disclose your medical records, and to discuss your medical prognosis with the Company’s nominated doctor. 


 

	12	COMPANY SICK PAY SCHEME 

  

	12.1	To qualify for Company Sick Pay (“CSP”) you must follow company procedures and notification and certification of absent (as outlined above).

	 	(a)	three months of sickness absence in any 12 consecutive months - full pay 

  

	 	(b)	three further months of sickness absence in any 12 consecutive months - half pay.

	14.3	The Company may terminate your employment at any time with immediate effect by paying a sum in lieu of all (or any unexpired part) of notice to you. This shall be calculated as a sum that is equal to the Salary that you

period. The Company may require you during part or all of such period to perform part but not all of your normal duties or duties different from your normal duties, including carrying out specific projects or tasks (but not being duties
