Annual leave allows staff to take paid time off from work for the purpose of having regular breaks to rest and re-energise.

All members of staff employed by the Trust are entitled to annual leave and general public holidays as set out in the national terms and conditions of employment (Agenda for Change).

Contractors, agency or internal bank (UHB+) staff are categorised under a separate agreement.

All staff are advised to familiarise themselves with the Trust’s annual leave procedure.
