GlassHouse Technologies UK Ltd Contract – November 2004   1


Senior Managers are not entitled to any overtime payments and are expected to work such hours as are necessary to carry out their duties effectively and efficiently to the satisfaction of the Company Directors.

 

6. Probation Period

The first three months of continuous employment service with the Company (as stated in Section 1 above), or such longer period as notified, is recognised as a Probationary Period. During this time your ability to meet required standards will be assessed and you will be advised at any stage throughout the three months if you are not meeting the standards. The standard Disciplinary Procedure does not apply during this period.

 

7. Holiday

The Company holiday year runs from 1st January – 31st December.

 

7.1 Holiday Entitlement

Your basic annual entitlement is 22 days. You will accrue one extra days’ leave for every three years of continuous service completed, up to a maximum of 25 days.

 

7.2 Holiday carry over

You are permitted to carry over five days into the next leave year but these days must be taken within that leave year. Any other outstanding holiday will be forfeited. Payment in lieu of holidays is not permitted.

 

7.3 Public or Bank Holidays

You are entitled to those Public or Bank Holidays as determined by statute or other Government orders. You may be required by your Manager to work on a bank holiday on occasion but you will be given a day off in lieu and payment of twice for normal hourly rate if such a situation arises. At present these days are as follows:

 

New Years Day    Good Friday
Easter Monday    May Day
Spring Bank Holiday    Summer Bank Holiday
Christmas Day    Boxing Day

 

7.4 Holiday Pay on Termination

If you leave the Company with an outstanding holiday entitlement from the current holiday year, you will, in addition to any other sums to which you may be entitled, be paid a sum representing salary for the number of days holiday entitlement outstanding. If you leave our employment having taken more than the accumulated holiday entitlement for the current holiday year then a sum equivalent to wages for the additional holiday taken will be deducted from any final payment to you and the balance will be paid to you. A day’s holiday for these purposes will be 1/260 of your annual basic salary.

 

8. Statutory Sick Pay

In the event of your absence for whatever reason you or someone on your behalf should contact the Company on the first day of absence not later than 9.00am.

The Company is legally required to administer on behalf of the Government a SSP scheme for the control of all payments made to an employee for the first 28 weeks of sickness in any period of incapacity. For the purposes of calculating Statutory Sick Pay the agreed “qualifying days” are Monday to Friday. SSP is subject to PAYE and National Insurance contributions.

If you are absent from work for less than 5 working days due to sickness you will be required to fill in a “self certificate” form. If you are absent for more than 5 working days you will be required to obtain a Doctors Medical Certificate.

Your employment is not contracted out of the state pension scheme (if you wish to contract out of the scheme please notify the HR department).

 

10. Retirement

The normal retirement age for all staff is 65 years of age.

 

11. Termination policy and procedure

If you wish to leave the company, you are required to give three months notice, in writing. Whilst on probation, you are required to give one week’s notice if you wish to leave.
