Or you may be provided with a mobile telephone to enable you to fulfil the responsibilities of your job.  Generally, it should not be used for personal calls.  In the event that excessive personal calls are made however, you should list these on your Monthly Expenses Form so that a deduction can be made from the expenses you are recovering.  The Company reserves the right to make deductions from your salary payments for personal calls made using the Company’s mobile telephone. The Company may alter the terms of company-provided mobile telephones or withdraw it altogether at any time without prior notice.

Driving Offences

Hours of work and rules

Your normal hours of work are between 9:00 am and 5:30 pm Monday to Friday inclusive with an unpaid lunch break of one hour. You may be required to work such additional hours as may be necessary for the proper performance of your duties without extra remuneration.

You agree that the limit on your working hours imposed by the Working Time Regulations 1998 will not apply to your employment with the Company and that your average working time may therefore exceed 48 hours in any seven-day period.  You may terminate your agreement to opt out of the maximum weekly working time by giving three months' written notice to the Company of that fact at any time. Unless the “opt out” is terminated in this way, it shall remain in force until your employment with us ends.

You are required at all times to comply with our rules, policies and procedures in force from time to time including those contained in the Staff Handbook.

Holidays

The Company's holiday year runs between 1 January and 31 December (“Holiday Year”).  

- 4 -

You are entitled to 25 days' holiday during each Holiday Year. You will earn one (1) additional vacation day for each year of service, not to exceed a maximum of 25 days of vacation per holiday year.   In addition you are entitled to take the usual bank/public holidays in England and Wales or a day in lieu where we require you to work on a bank/public holiday. All entitlement is pro rata for part time staff. You will be paid your normal salary during such holidays. If your employment commences or terminates part way through the Holiday Year, your holiday entitlement during that year of employment shall be calculated on a pro-rata basis.

The Company operates a system that you must follow for obtaining prior approval for holiday plans. Details of that system and of any changes to it from time to time will be made known to you. The Company will try to co-operate with your holiday plans wherever possible subject to the requirements of the Company. However, you must not book holidays until your request has been formally authorised in writing by your manager. Normally no more than two weeks leave can be taken at any one time.

You may not normally carry any leave forward and you must use all of your holiday entitlement by the last day of each holiday year.  Unless there are exceptional circumstances as authorized with the prior written consent of HR, you may not carry your holiday entitlement forward into the next holiday year.  Holiday entitlement not used by the correct date will usually be lost and under no circumstances will payment be made for holiday entitlement that is lost through not being exercised by the correct date except as provided in clause 14.6.

During any continuous period of sickness absence of one month or more you shall only accrue statutory holiday under the Working Time Regulations 1998 and not contractual holiday (as set out in clause 14.2).

On Termination you shall be entitled to be paid in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday save that, where such termination is pursuant to clause 16.2 or follows your resignation in breach of clause Error! Reference source not found., such accrued but untaken holiday shall be based on your minimum holiday entitlement under the Working Time Regulations 1998 only and not on your entitlement under clause 14.2.  For these purposes any paid holiday that you have taken (including any paid holiday on public holidays) shall be deemed first to be statutory paid holiday. If you have taken more holiday than your accrued entitlement at the date of termination of your employment, we shall be entitled to deduct the appropriate amount from any payments due to you.  The amount of the payment in lieu or deduction shall be calculated on the basis that each day of paid holiday is equal to 1/260 of your salary.

We may require you to take any outstanding holiday entitlement during your notice period.

Sickness absence

If you are absent from work for any reason, you must notify your manager of the reason for and likely duration of your absence as soon as possible but no later than 9 am on the first day of absence.  Any change in the estimated period of absence must be notified as soon as possible.

In all cases of absence lasting up to seven calendar days a self-certification form, which is available from the Company, must be completed on your return to work and supplied to your manager. For any period of incapacity due to sickness or injury which lasts for more than seven consecutive days, a doctor's certificate (“Fit Note”) stating the reason for absence must be obtained at your own cost and supplied to your manager. Further Fit Notes must be obtained if the absence continues for longer than the period of the original certificate.

Subject to compliance with the Company's sickness absence procedures above, you shall be entitled to statutory sick pay (“SSP”) for any periods of sickness absence. The Company may, at its sole discretion, continue to pay your basic salary (which shall be inclusive of any entitlement to SSP) for whatever period of absence it considers appropriate (“Company Sick Pay”).  The continuance or not of any benefits during any period of sickness absence is also at the Company’s sole and absolute discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, payment of Company Sick Pay and/or the provision of any benefits to you (or any other employee) in relation to one or more instances of sickness absence or in relation to one or more particular types of illness or injury shall not entitle you to Company Sick Pay or any benefits in respect of any subsequent sickness absence or in relation to any similar or dissimilar illness or injury.  Your qualifying days for SSP purposes are your normal days of work.

In the event that a Fit Note results in you and the Company agreeing that:

you can undertake some, but not all of your duties; and/or

you can work for some but not all of your usual working time; and/or

some other change be made to the terms of your employment;

- 5 -

In the event that you refuse to return to work in accordance with the Company’s reasonable interpretation of a Fit Note, neither Company Sick Pay nor SSP will be payable (unless the Company exercises its discretion to the contrary) for any such period of absence and you may be subject to the Company’s disciplinary procedures.

In the event that you are injured or become ill before or during any period of holiday absence, should you seek to claim sick pay instead of holiday pay, you shall only be entitled to receive SSP.

You agree to consent to medical examinations (at our expense) by doctor(s) nominated by the Company should the Company so require at any time during your employment. You agree that any report produced in connection with any such examination may be disclosed to any Group Company and the Company may discuss the contents of the report with the relevant doctor.

Without prejudice to clause 15.3, the Company reserves the right to terminate your employment in accord with clause 16.

Termination and notice period

Subject to clause 16.2 below, the prior written notice required from the Company to terminate your employment shall be as follows:

Six months following the date of this agreement.

We shall be entitled to dismiss you at any time without notice or payment in lieu of notice if you commit a serious breach of your obligations as an employee, or if you cease to be entitled to work in the United Kingdom.

The Company reserves the right to pay your basic salary in lieu of all or any notice (whether such notice is given by the Company or you).  but not withstanding any outstanding bonus payments.

Following service of notice by either party, or if you purport to terminate your employment in breach of contract, the Company may by written notice require you not to perform any services (or to perform only specified services) for the Company until the termination of your employment or until a specified date or until otherwise notified (“Garden Leave”).

During any period of Garden Leave the Company shall:

be under no obligation to provide any work to or vest any powers in you;

be entitled to require you to take any accrued but unused holiday entitlement.

During any period of Garden Leave you shall:

continue to receive your salary and all contractual benefits (other than bonus or commission) in the usual way and subject to the terms of any benefit arrangement;

remain an employee of the Company and bound by the terms of this agreement including your duty of good faith, but have no right to perform any services for the Company;

not, without the prior written consent of a Director, attend your place of work or any other premises of any Group Company;

not, without the prior written consent of a Director, contact or deal with (or attempt to contact or deal with) any officer, employee, consultant, client, customer, supplier, agent, distributor, shareholder, adviser or other business contact of any Group Company;

on request, comply with the provisions of clause 17 at any time during the period of Garden Leave, save that you will either be permitted to retain possession of any item of Company property which has a legitimate private use (e.g. a Company car for which reasonable private use was allowed), or you will be provided with an alternative benefit (e.g. a car allowance instead of a Company car); and

(except during any periods taken as holiday in the usual way) ensure that a Director knows where you will be and how you can be contacted during each working day and you shall comply with any written requests to contact a specified employee of the Company at specified intervals.

The Company does not have a normal retirement age, although you may give notice (as per clause 16.2) of retirement at any time.
