Employees of Print Clever Ltd are entitled to 20 days paid annual leave.\u00a0 For those working less than 5 days each week a pro rata calculation is used.\u00a0 In all cases your manager will let you know your annual leave entitlement for the current leave year.<\/p>
Holidays must be agreed with your manager as early as possible - and at least 2 weeks before the proposed date of commencement.\u00a0 The Company will where possible try to accommodate individual preferences for holiday dates, but the needs of the business may have to take precedence, particularly where short or inadequate notice is given.\u00a0 On that basis you should not book holidays until your request has been formally authorised.<\/p>
Given the nature of the business, no annual leave will be granted during November and December.<\/p>
The holiday year runs from 1st January to 31st December.<\/p><\/li>
Leave for employees joining after the start of the leave year accrues at the rate of one twelfth of the annual entitlement for each complete calendar month of service.<\/p><\/li>
Leave for employees who terminate their employment during the leave year is calculated on the same basis.\u00a0 If, however, the annual leave entitlement has been exceeded, a deduction calculated on the same basis will be deducted from the final salary payment.<\/p><\/li>
No more than two weeks\u2019 holiday may be taken at any one time<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
Print Clever Ltd also recognises the 8 statutory Bank Holidays in addition to basic annual leave entitlement.<\/p>
You must use all of your holiday entitlement by the last day of each holiday year and, unless there are exceptional circumstances, you may not carry your holiday entitlement forward into the next holiday year.\u00a0 Holiday entitlement not used by the correct date will usually be lost and under no circumstances will payment be made for holiday entitlement that is lost through not being exercised by the correct date.<\/p>"},"borderRadius":{"id":104582940,"value":"#{text.border.radius}"},"textColor":{"id":104582941,"value":"#{text.color}"},"backgroundColour":{"id":104582942,"value":"#0000"},"truncateHeight":{"id":104582943,"value":null},"padding":{"id":104582945,"value":"6"},"fullWidth":{"id":104582946,"value":"0"},"fullBackgroundColor":{"id":104582947,"value":"#{text.fullBackground.color}"},"published":{"id":104582948,"value":"1"},"conditions":{"id":104582949,"value":"[]"},"template":{"id":104594009,"value":"text"}}},{"id":4335352,"type":"button","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":4,"items":[],"properties":{"text":{"id":104593880,"value":"Holiday Entitlement Process Diagram"},"href":{"id":104593881,"value":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1sNLe_xjYxz8moKGPaXicp015Cl1pS7Vq\/view?usp=drive_link"},"primary":{"id":104593882,"value":"0"},"borderRadius":{"id":104593885,"value":"#{button.border.radius}"},"size":{"id":104593886,"value":"standard"},"align":{"id":104593887,"value":"center"},"padding":{"id":104593889,"value":"6"},"fullWidth":{"id":104593890,"value":"0"},"fullBackgroundColor":{"id":104593891,"value":"#F8A3D7"},"published":{"id":104593892,"value":"1"},"conditions":{"id":104593893,"value":"[]"},"primaryColor":{"id":104594032,"value":"#{button.primary.color}"},"secondaryColor":{"id":104594033,"value":"#{button.secondary.color}"},"template":{"id":104594034,"value":"button"}}},{"id":4335353,"type":"textBlock","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":5,"items":[],"properties":{"html":{"id":104593894,"value":"

Print Clever is committed to providing a positive work environment which supports your wellbeing and your work-life balance. With this in mind we are launching a new staff benefit called the \u2018Holiday Plus Scheme\u2019.<\/p>
This scheme allows eligible employees to purchase additional days of annual leave, giving you more time off when you need it. The cost of the extra leave is deducted from your salary, helping you spread the cost over time.<\/p>
Print Clever hopes that this flexibility will allow you to take extra time off for special events like weddings and extended vacations.
<\/p>
Salary sacrifice: The cost of the additional days is taken from your annual salary and spread across the year.<\/p><\/li>
Eligible employees: An employee on a permanent contract and not on probation.<\/p><\/li>
Leave Year: January 1st to December 31st on any given year.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
<\/p>
All employees in permanent contracts who have successfully completed their probationary period are eligible to join the scheme.<\/p>
<\/p>
Eligible employees can purchase up to five additional days of holiday in each leave year. The cost of these days is spread across the leave year and taken from your salary before tax.<\/p>
You will complete a form and submit it to your Line Manager between September 1st and October 31st.\u00a0<\/p><\/li>
Your Line Manager will confirm the request and submit the form to our finance team for calculation of your salary deductions.\u00a0<\/p><\/li>
The salary deduction calculation will be passed back to you to agree.<\/p><\/li>
Your Line Manager will liaise with IT to have your annual leave allowance increased on WorkSmarter to reflect the new holiday entitlement for that leave year.<\/p><\/li>
You will then book your leave in accordance with Print Clever annual leave policy.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>
<\/p>
The restriction on Production and Customer Success employees that does not allow for annual leave to be taken in November and December is not changed by this scheme.<\/p>
<\/p>
If you leave Print Clever within an annual leave year where you have purchased additional leave days, the cost of these will be returned to you using a pro-rata calculation based on when in the leave year your employment ends.<\/p>
<\/p>
Please complete the form provided by 15th May 2025<\/p><\/li>
The salary sacrifice will be spread over the months April-December in 2025<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

Print Clever is committed to rewarding our employees for their long service and dedication. With this in mind we are updating our annual holiday entitlement policy to include an increase in your standard allowance, depending on your length of service.<\/p>
This policy rewards eligible employees with up to five additional days of annual leave, starting from your fifth year of employment, to a maximum of five additional days at ten years.<\/p>
Standard allowance: Twenty days.<\/p><\/li>
Bank Holiday allowance: Cira seven-eight days of additional days in lieu of time off for national public holidays, i.e. May Day, when Print Clever is open and trading.<\/p><\/li>
Service allowance: Up to five days, dependent on service length.<\/p><\/li>
Service Length: The time you have been an employee of Print Clever.<\/p><\/li>
Leave Year: January 1st to December 31st on any given year.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
All employees in permanent contracts who have successfully completed their probationary period are eligible to earn additional leave days.<\/p>
If you have joined Print Clever via a TUPE scheme and your annual leave already exceeds the standard allowance plus service allowance, you are not eligible for additional days of leave due to service.<\/p>
All eligible employees start with a standard allowance of 20 days of leave.\u00a0<\/p>
Day one of your employment is the day that you start work. This is your service anniversary.\u00a0<\/p>
In the year that your service reaches 5 years, you qualify for an additional day of annual leave. This is a permanent change to your contracted allowance.<\/p>
The additional day is added on 1st January the following leave year.<\/p>
For example<\/strong>, Juan has a work anniversary on the 1st of September. On the 1st September 2024 he was with Print Clever for five years. On the 1st January 2025, Juan\u2019s standard allowance changes from 20 days to 21 days.<\/p> Your Line Manager is responsible for informing IT of the changes required to your annual leave allowance.<\/p> Five Years<\/strong> = +1 Additional Days Awarded in Year Six [New Standard Annual Leave = 21 days]<\/p><\/li> Six Years<\/strong> = +1 Additional Days Awarded in Year Seven [New Standard Annual Leave = 22 days]<\/p><\/li> Seven Years<\/strong> = +1 Additional Days Awarded in Year Eight [New Standard Annual Leave = 23 days]<\/p><\/li> Eight Years<\/strong> = +1 Additional Days Awarded in Year Nine [New Standard Annual Leave = 24 days]<\/p><\/li> Nine Years<\/strong> = +1 Additional Days Awarded in Year Ten [New Standard Annual Leave = 25 days]<\/p><\/li><\/ul> Print Clever is open and trading every day of the year with the exception of Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Instead of closing the business for public holidays, Print Clever stays open and if an employee wishes to have a public holiday away from work, i.e. May Day, they will need to book it using their Bank Holiday Allowance. All employees are given an additional number of days each leave year to allow for their statutory right for public holidays. This can vary, but is typically seven or eight days\/year.\u00a0<\/p> All leave requests must be approved by your manager using WorkSmarter, and are awarded on a first-come-first-served basis. If service cover is required, you may be refused your request for leave. We request that a minimum of two weeks notice is given for any leave request. Requests within two weeks of the requested date are considered on a case-by-case basis by your Line Manager.<\/p> The restriction on Production and Customer Success employees that does not allow for annual leave to be taken in November and December is not changed by this scheme.<\/p> Your Line manager will inform you of your service start date and any additional days that are due to you immediately if you have five years or more service.<\/p><\/li> These will be added to your leave allowance or the year 2025, by the end of March 2025.<\/p><\/li><\/ul> <\/p>"},"borderRadius":{"id":104594022,"value":"#{text.border.radius}"},"textColor":{"id":104594023,"value":"#{text.color}"},"backgroundColour":{"id":104594024,"value":"#0000"},"truncateHeight":{"id":104594025,"value":null},"template":{"id":104594026,"value":"text"},"padding":{"id":104594027,"value":"6"},"fullWidth":{"id":104594028,"value":"0"},"fullBackgroundColor":{"id":104594029,"value":"#{text.fullBackground.color}"},"published":{"id":104594030,"value":"1"},"conditions":{"id":104594031,"value":"[]"}}}],"properties":{"title":{"id":104582599,"value":"Annual Leave"},"isStorePage":{"id":104582600,"value":"1"},"ogImage":{"id":104582601,"value":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/ceqwomhxaw5if0tbufdb3hwoun4tq0pziluq0jtvyzfypmhq.png.png?w=1200&h=auto"}},"labels":[],"published":1,"sitemap":1,"divisionId":388371,"edited":true,"keyPhraseCampaignId":null}Bank Holiday Allowance:<\/h3>
