Our trust actively encourages retire and return, basically I retired returned to the same post, same team, same pay scale and employment rights. Only differences to was I had to have the compulsory 24 hour break in service so retired 30 April returned 2 May, got a new payroll number and of course if I ever get made redundant my reckonable pay is from when I started this ne contract due to AfC rules over claiming pension and redundancy.

Do you still retain your long service leave if you do that or do you lose it?

The handbook states on sickness absence and I think this rule counts for all long service benefits.

” 12.5 On returning to NHS employment, a previous period or periods of NHS service will be counted towards the employee’s entitlement to sickness absence, where there has been a break or breaks in service of 12 months or less”

Yes, same terms and conditions including long service.
