You should still get paid for the xmas leave, i think its part of the holidays stipulated.

If you's have your contract then take a read through that and it will be explained there.

Good Luck

I specifically asked this question at my pre entry briefing two weeks ago. All recruits are paid while on the leave, however there may be a problem for those starting initail trainning in December as their payroll accounts may not be set up. I was also told that an emergency cash payment would be issued in place of a paycheck if this were to happen, but it wouldn't be to the full ammount of regular pay and would have to be paid back over a number of months. So, what ever happens you will have some money in your pocket for Christmas, but keep your fingers crossed that you are in early enough to have your pay account set up. Good luck on starting training, see you down there when I start on the on the 6th!
