Leave during the first year of employmentN.I.
19.—(1) During the first year of a worker's employment, the amount of leave the worker may take at any time in exercise of the worker's entitlement under regulation 15 or regulation 16 is limited to the amount which is deemed to have accrued at that time under paragraph (2), as modified under paragraph (3) in a case where that paragraph applies, less the amount of leave (if any) that the worker has already taken during that year.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), leave is deemed to accrue over the course of the worker's first year of employment, at the rate of one-twelfth of the amount specified in regulation 15(1) and regulation 16(1), subject to the limit contained in regulation 16(2), on the first day of each month of that year.
(3) Where the amount of leave that has accrued in a particular case includes a fraction of a day other than a half-day, the fraction shall be treated as a half-day if it is less than a half-day and as a whole day if it is more than a half-day.
