If you find that you have a surplus of holiday hours at the end of the year, you can:
- Carry them over to the following year
- Add them to the existing hours in the Selection Model
- Save them for a particular form of leave such as a sabbatical or parental leave.
1. Carrying over holiday hours
You are permitted to carry over a maximum of 80 holiday hours into the following year (in accordance with your contract of employment). Find out more about reverting to the standard variant.
If you have less than 76 hours left at the end of the following year (on a pro-rata basis), you can consult your supervisor about whether you plan to revert to the plus variant on 1 January. Make sure that you discuss this with your supervisor in good time.

You can customise your Selection Model in BASS. Find out more about the options in the Selection Model.
