This starts at 26 days for up to five years of service, increasing to 31 days after five years of service (pro-rata for part-time staff). This is in addition to the statutory bank holidays. All staff will also receive enhanced maternity and paternity pay.  

 

Salary Sacrifice Schemes  

Cycle to work: Tax and National Insurance savings when you buy a new bicycle and accessories over a 12-month repayment plan via salary sacrifice.
