Additional Annual Leave Purchase Scheme

The purpose of the annual leave purchase scheme is to provide employees with additional flexibility in respect of planned time off work. This scheme provides the opportunity to "buy" up to 2 working weeks (pro-rata if appropriate) additional annual leave in each leave year, with deductions in pay spread over 12 months.

Should employees wish to calculate the cost of purchasing additional annual leave for themselves, they can use the link below as a guide.
