 in any 12 calendar months, provided that you shall supply the Company with such medical certificates in respect of any period of absence as the Company
may request or require. 
  

	10.3	Any payment that may be made in excess of that prescribed at clause 10.2 shall be entirely at the Company’s discretion. Any delay by the Company in terminating the provision of

time during your employment whether or not you are absent by reason of illness or injury or otherwise. Subject to the provisions of the Access to Medical Reports Act 1988, you agree to give such authority as the Company may request or require so as

loans to you and you shall: 

  

	 	(a)	immediately notify the Company of all the relevant circumstances and of any claim, compromise, settlement or judgement made or awarded in connection therewith;

  

	 	(b)	if the Company so requires, refund to the Company such sums as the Company may determine, not exceeding whichever is the lower of: 

  

	 	(i)	the amount of damages recovered by you under any compromise, settlement or judgement; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the sums advanced to you in respect of the period of incapacity.

with the Board. You may not carry forward any accrued but untaken holiday to

withheld or delayed). Any holiday that is accrued but untaken as at the end of the holiday year and which the Company does not consent to being carried forward shall be forfeited without any entitlement to a payment in lieu. 
  

	11.2	Upon termination of your employment you shall be entitled to pay in lieu of any accrued holiday entitlement at the rate of 1/260th of the basic salary in respect of each day of
