The 2022 NJC pay settlement for England, Wales and Northern Ireland gave all support staff an increase of one day of annual leave from 1 April 2023.
For full year staff this will simply be an additional one day and pro rata for part time, full year staff.
In relation to Term Time Only staff the additional day will be incorporated in their salary on a pro rata basis.
We have updated our Time Term Only spreadsheet to reflect this.
The spreadsheet is on our client portal and the link for clients only is here:-
