If I have to work on a day of annual leave, or a day in lieu of overtime, what compensation am I entitled to? Did you know if you work a day of annual leave, you may be entitled to compensation?
This applies where an officer is recalled to duty from a period of absence from duty of three or more days (of which at least one day is annual leave). It also applies to the cancellation of pre- booked, scheduled annual leave where the same criteria are met i.e., absence from duty of three or more days of which at least one day is annual leave:

One or two days of annual leave You are entitled to compensation of either two days’ annual leave (or one day’s annual leave plus one day’s pay at double time) for each day of annual leave.
Three days or more of annual leave You are entitled to either 1.5 days (or one day’s annual leave plus 0.5 day’s pay at double time) from day three onwards.
How much annual leave can I carry over at the end of the year? Did you know that you might be able to carry over up to five days leave a year? In some circumstances this could be more. At the discretion of the chief officer and subject to exigencies of duty, members can carry over to the next leave year up to five additional days of annual leave outstanding from the current year (in exceptional circumstances the chief officer can allow a member to carry over more); or bring forward to the last month of a leave year up to five days’ leave from the following leave year.
