Recording of Annual Leave for Non-Medical Staff
December 17, 2021
The Trust continues to work on improving its wellbeing offering to staff. An integral part of peoples wellbeing is the use of annual leave, and intelligence around that usage is a vital tool in the Trust’s support to individuals and teams.
It is therefore important that information systems are used to record taken and planned annual leave, allowing the Trust to analyse trends and areas where support may be required.
A significant number of staff are currently on E-Rostering, and this is used to collate their annual leave. If your staff are on E-Rostering, please continue to use this system. For the rest of the Trust’s staff, we ask that you use ESR and ensure that your team’s annual leave is up to date. It is important that annual leave for the financial year 2021/2022 is recorded before the 31st March 2022. Medical Staff will be addressed in a separate exercise.
The system is easy to use, records actual and future leave, and individuals or managers can enter the information into the system.
As managers, therefore, please will you assure yourself of:
- The system your team’s annual leave is recorded on. If on E-Rostering no changes or actions are required, other than continued recording of Annual Leave on the system.
- If your team, or any of your staff are not on E-Rostering then ensure you work through a plan to capture all annual leave on ESR, and if necessary, approach your HR team or the ESR team for support.
HR teams will begin to discuss this at Group meetings, and monitor ESR to ensure progress is being made. Regular information will be provided, via HR Business Partners and Group Senior Finance Managers, to Clinical Group Management Teams and Corporate Directorate Management Teams to support monitoring.
Information on annual leave is important as we work as an organisation to ensure the wellbeing of our staff and teams.
Thank you for your cooperation.
