<p>The Ministry of Justice does not centrally record the carry-over of annual leave.
This is managed by the local business area.</p><p>Whilst we do not hold central data
the Department has worked closely with Civil Service Employee Policy to ensure clear
guidance to staff on the extended carry-over of annual leave provided for under the
Working Time (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020. Whilst employees have been
encouraged to continue to take leave since the start of the pandemic where they are
able to do so to maintain their wellbeing, the 2-year extension of carry-over limits
is available to all staff impacted by Covid-19 who have been unable to use their annual
leave by the normal deadline.</p><p>This guidance has been disseminated through Departmental
communications channels, dedicated Covid-19 intranet pages, and cascaded to business
areas through HR Business Partners. For any complex Covid-related queries or concerns,
including those relating to carry- over of annual leave, a dedicated team is available
to provide advice and support.</p>
