AGENDA FOR CHANGE
Description
1. Section 13 of the Agenda for Change Handbook sets out staff’s annual leave and general public holiday entitlement. Additional guidance on this subject for NHSScotland was first published as HDL(2006)49, following partnership discussions by the the Scottish Terms and Conditions Committee (STAC). This was then amended by CEL31(2011).
2. The Annex to this further letter supercedes all earlier guidance on the subject and is being published following an amendment to the Agenda for Change Handbook which clarifies the law around consideration of service in other European Union member states, for the purpose of determining annual leave entitlement. Paragraph 23 has been amended to reflet this revision. All other elements of the guidance remain unchanged.
