Carry Over Of Holiday Entitlement Agreement

This Carry Over of Holiday Entitlement Form is used where an employee wants to request permission to carry untaken holiday from one holiday year into the next.

The holiday year is set by the employer, and employees would normally be expected to take their leave during that year. Carry-over applies where leave is not taken in the year in which it accrued and is instead moved into the following leave year.

When Holiday Carry-Over May Apply

Workers may be entitled to carry forward up to 28 days’ leave into the next holiday year in certain circumstances, including where:

• they were unable to take leave because of a period of statutory leave, such as maternity or adoption leave;
• they were prevented from taking leave because of long-term sickness absence;
• the employer did not give them a reasonable opportunity to take holiday or failed to encourage them to do so; or
• the employer did not inform them that untaken leave would be lost at the end of the holiday year.

What the Form Covers

The form asks the employee to state how many days they wish to carry forward and the reason for the request.

It also provides for the line manager to approve or reject the request and return the form to the employee.
