Weeks A Year Contracted To Work: Field
Definition
This data item records the number of weeks per year for which a member of staff is contracted to work, including any paid holiday.
Where a staff member is contracted to work for less than 52 weeks in a year, but payments are spread equally over the year, it is the number of weeks contracted to work that should be entered.
For example, if someone is on a term-time only contract for 37 weeks per year but receives their pay in twelve monthly instalments, it is 37 weeks that should be entered, not 52
Reason Required
