Moving from one NHS trust to another

Firefly_777

Hiya... Quick question...

Basically what happens to my annual leave in my current job when moving to another job? I have 2 and a half weeks annual leave remaining in my current job, there isn't any point booking any as I am due to leave in the next 2-3 weeks (plus to book annual leave you need 2 weeks notice). Will they just pay me my annual leave in my last payslip?

Many thanks

if you've got outstanding holidays that you've accrued then you normally get paid for them and if you've had too many, they'll deduct the pay.

Hi Firefly,

It depends on how much leave you have taken in the current leave year out of your annual allowance, up to your leaving date.

You may be able to use some leave for your notice period, but if you only have two and a half weeks left for this year then they may need to take the appropriate money out of your final payslip.

What is your annual leave entitlement, what leave have you already taken this leave year and your proposed / actual leaving date?

ETA - Scheming_gypsy is correct but the NHS don't usually pay you, you will need to take the time instead as part of your notice period, if that applies to your situation.

Hmmmm... Tricky situation then My leaving date should be around the 18th July. My notice period is only 1 week (band 1) which isn't a lot. My year typically starts in October and I do only 2 days a week...

I've have taken 1.5 weeks (3 days) worth of annual leave this year... I spoke to my supervisor yesterday and she says that I have still got to take 7 days A/L this year (3.5 weeks worth)... I worked out that I have 2.5 weeks left by: 3 (A/L taken)+7 (A/L to take) = 10 days (total A/L) 10 days/12 months= 0.84 x 10 months worked before leaving in July = 8.4 days - 3 A/L days already taken = 5.4 days remaining = Roughly 2.5 weeks... Brain hurts

I'm not worried that they will deduct money (no chance).... I'm just worried as I don't know if I have to take the A/L before I leave or if they just pay my holiday pay in my final payslip.

So you haven't given notice yet?

Do you have a start date for your new job?

Firefly_777

No I haven't given my notice in yet (I will once I have my unconditional offer in my hands)... 18th July is when my future employer wants me to start, but I have no proper start date from HR.

When I left one trust in december to go to another, they paid me in my last payslip. I didn't have to use it as my leave. Don't know if that still applies.

Sounds promising

When you have your unconditional offer in writing, you will be able to resign (as you say, don't resign before then!). You will need to negotiate your start and finish dates and just give a weeks notice, telling them you intend to take your remaining leave. You will then get paid any outstanding leave in your final pay from that job although you would technically take the time as leave you are free to start your new job.

Be very careful about dates so that you maintain your continuous service too.

Continuous service is not a problem in the NHS as you can take a year out and still have continuous service.

Only if you are on Maternity Leave or a Career Break?

Things are changing in the NHS at the moment, there was a post on here recently where HR had told someone that a break in service of more than a week would affect their entitlement to any future redundancy payments.
