Annual leave
The Pilot's contractual entitlement is for 132 days off per year. The entitlement consists of 104 days off, 20 annual leave days and 8 public holidays. A Pilot is entitled to 20 days annual leave which is allocated via an online bidding system. In addition, Pilots may also elect to take an additional 5 GDOs (Guaranteed Days Off) throughout the year, although this is not classified as leave, it is treated on an equal footing to other leave days and it is not reclaimed by the company.

Pension
All Pilots will be entitled to a 7% of basic salary pension contribution from the company paid into the existing easyJet scheme. This entitlement will be paid (providing the Pilot applies to join the scheme) on an unmatched basis. That is, it will be paid whether or not the individual contributes. In addition, a further 2% will be paid directly to individuals pensions under the SMART pension agreement. Individuals can opt out of the 2% pension contribution and have it paid as salary at their request. This is of benefit to members who have reached the new 'pension cap' or who choose to make private investment choices outside of the company scheme.

Death in Service cover is 4 times basic salary. Personal accident insurance gives cover for prescribed injuries or disablement.

Aircrew Medicals
Flight Crew will be reimbursed for the actual cost of one Class One Medical Certificate renewal per year, based on CAA/JAA requirements and recommended charges.

Car Parking
Access to staff car parks at a Pilot's base will be provided free of charge. Where a Pilot is required to use their own transport on company business at a place other than their base, reasonable car park charges will be reimbursed against receipt.

Uniform
A uniform allowance of £17.33 per month will be paid in salary. This payment will allow Pilots to purchase new items of uniform as and when they need them, with the minimum of administration required.

If any change to style of uniform occurs, the value of the allowance will be reviewed and the Company will provide the initial issue of any item that has changed in style. Initial purchase of the uniform on joining the Company would be the responsibility of the individual.

Staff Travel
easyJet operates a staff travel policy and details of this policy can be found in the Employee People Handbook.

Sick Pay
From date of joining, Pilots are entitled to basic salary for 3 months in any rolling 12-month period.

Standby Duty
When on home standby, a Crew member will have 90 minutes from call out to report for duty in the Crew Room. It is the Pilot's responsibility to ensure that he/she remains within reach by telephone during periods of standby, and when away from a landline, this includes responsibility for remaining within adequate mobile phone network coverage.
