Annual leave on a flexi contract

As we do not have the full facts and circumstances surrounding the matter the below is purely guidance and you should seek legal proper advice.

With regard to your first question, the first point of call would be to check your contract of employment and / or the Staff conditions Agenda for Change handbook which may set out explicitly the NHS policy on receiving additional hours in lieu of working public holidays in excess of the 32 hour annual allowance. You could also raise this issue informally initially with your employer and if you do not receive a satisfactory answer / outcome then you could raise a formal grievance.

With regard to your second question, you should also check your contract of employment or the NHS staff conditions Agenda for Change handbook. On reviewing the NHS staff conditions Agenda for Change handbook, it states:

• All staff in pay bands 1 to 7 will be eligible for overtime payments;
• Staff may request to take time off in lieu as an alternative to overtime payments;
• Senior staff paid in pay bands 8 or 9 will not be entitled to overtime payments;
• Time off in lieu of overtime payments will be at plain time rates.

You should know which band you are in light of the above. In regard to the accrual of annual leave I would suggest you raise this informally at first with your employer and if you do not receive a satisfactory answer / outcome then you should raise a formal grievance.
