Call Forward of Leave

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 into the current leave year, from your Annual Leave Allowance for the upcoming 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.

How do I apply for this?

Submit your application for Call forward of leave to your line manager, for approval, on:

• JPA – Follow the instructions in the ‘Absence (flexible working)’ self-service user guide, which can be found within the JPA User Guides and Forms (on defnet).
