We currently give 15 days sick pay per year. We have decided that we would like to make this a ‘rolling’ year to prevent some staff using this as 15 days extra holiday every year.

I have discovered that some of our 5 national offices are already using a rolling year but somehow this wasn’t communicated to us.

Any tips of how to implement this in our office? Is it enough to say that we are changing to a rolling year instead of the existing system in order to align ourselves with our other offices?

Or do we need to notify staff that we intend to do this and then have a period of consultation?

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Jenni Lawrence
