Policy for Term-time Workers

Term-time working is a form of flexible working whereby an employee remains on a permanent employment contract, but has the right to take unpaid leave of absence during the school holidays.

This Term-time Working Policy references the Flexible Working Policy, in respect of the process for applying for a flexible working arrangement.

Employers should be aware that term-time workers are protected under the Part-Time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations. This means that employees who are on a term time working basis are entitled to the same terms and conditions as full time employees, on a pro rata basis.

All employees should now have their holiday pay calculated based on their average earnings over the previous 52 working weeks and all employees will receive at least 5.6 weeks’ leave.

This Term-time Working Policy contains the following sections:

1. Introduction 
2. Eligibility 
3. Procedure 
4. Salary Arrangements 
5. Annual Leave 
6. Work During School Holiday Periods 
7. Terminating the Term Time Working Arrangement
