With effect from the 14th April 2010 part-time employees who work additional hours in excess of their contracted hours will be entitled to accrue annual leave in respect of the additional hours worked up to a maximum of the annual leave entitlement for the whole-time equivalent (WTE) grade.
Nurses/midwives employed in the health service who work a '5 over 7' roster receive additional annual leave in lieu of their liability to work on public holidays, i.e. 9 days in the case of full-time nurses/midwives and 4.5 days in the case of job-sharing nurses/midwives.
