The rules in brief
- On joining: 27 days plus 8 public holidays
- After 5 years' NHS service: 29 days plus 8 public holidays
- After 10 years' NHS service: 33 days plus 8 public holidays
Part-time staff get the same entitlement pro rata to their hours. Because bank holidays are included in the hours total, people who don't normally work on bank holidays book them from their allowance like any other day off.
