Alternative Days
Introduction
Alternate holidays (Lieu Days) used to be known as Time In Lieu under previous legislation:
If a team member is required to work on a public holiday, and it would otherwise be a working day for the team member, they are entitled to a whole day's alternative holiday at a later stage.
The entitlement to an alternative holiday applies consistently to all public holidays.
Alternative holidays are noted on the timesheet by the manager and are recorded and administered by the Payroll Department.
Taking Alternative Days and Payment
The Alternative holiday can be taken at any time that is mutually agreeable to the employer and team member and is paid at the relevant daily pay for the day taken off.
If the alternative holiday is not taken within 12 months of accruing it, the manager can direct the team member to take the alternative holiday.
Alternatively at that time the team member may ask the manager to make payment instead of having the time off. When cashing up Alternative Days, payment will be at the employee’s average daily pay. The team member needs put a request through my pay to cash the alternative days leave.
