Eligibility check:
What’s it for?
To help you balance work and home life commitments.
What do I get?
Call Forward of Leave enables you to call (or bring) forward up to 10 days leave of your Annual Leave Allowance from the upcoming leave year into the current leave year.
You must make sure that you will be able to take the leave you have called forward and you must keep at least 28 days leave in the upcoming leave year, as required under the Working Time Regulations.
You will not usually be permitted to apply to call forward leave more than once in a rolling two-leave year period, although exceptional circumstances may be considered.
It is your responsibility to make sure you will have enough leave (a minimum of 28 days) available for the following year.
How do I apply for this?
You should submit your application to your line manager on JPA. The Absences (flexible working) user guide (which can be found at JPA user guides) tells you how to do this.
If you don’t have access to JPA then you should send JPA Form R001 (which can be found at at JPA forms) to your line manager.
