There is no central policy on buying/selling leave; instead, departments may consider introducing this benefit under their own delegated authority.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) recently launched a buy/selling of leave policy for the 2022 annual leave year. The policy was introduced to allow BEIS employees to exercise greater flexibility within their total reward package.<\/p>
<\/p>
All eligible BEIS staff were informed that they were able to access the benefit portal during a three-week window, to register their request to buy or sell up to 5 days (full time equivalent) annual leave. The three-week window ran from 3rd<\/sup> January 2023 to 23rd<\/sup> January 2023.<\/p> <\/p>
BEIS issued communications via our Intranet platform on the 22nd<\/sup> November, the 16th<\/sup> December and a final reminder on the 5th<\/sup> January 2023.<\/p>"}
