All staff at the Department for Transport, regardless of their contracted working hours, are entitled to accrue annual leave while on long term sick leave. Public holidays and the privilege day are excluded as employees are expected to have taken these days during their sick leave.

The information requested on the number of staff who have a right to 31.5 days and 30 days annual leave by age, sex and ethnicity can only be produced at disproportionate cost.
