ANNUAL LEAVE AND LOYALTY HOLIDAY
Employees receive 25 days annual leave plus 8 public holidays each holiday year which runs 01 April to 31 March (pro rata for part time employees). In recognition of continued service, employees are awarded one extra day on the anniversary of the fifth year of continued service and another extra day on the anniversary of the tenth year of service.
DISCRETIONARY HOLIDAY – TIME OFF OVER CHRISTMAS
Landmarc provides up to three discretionary paid days during the period between Christmas and New Year in place of annual leave.
HOLIDAY PURCHASE SCHEME
We believe work life balance is important and time away from work for all employees makes them more energised when operating in the business. To support this we operate a holiday purchase scheme, where eligible staff can purchase up to ten extra annual leave days, with a maximum annual leave allowance of up to 35 days (pro rata for part-time staff).
FLEXIBLE WORKING
We understand that there are times where employees would like a little more flexibility within their working day, eligible employees are able to request a flexible working pattern, which may include a change to hours, time or location of work.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
We strive to keep employees healthy and safe when performing work duties, ensuring that our work is not affecting their health.
