People & Organisational Development

Fixed "other days" are the four annual leave days that are fixed by the University in our calendar.  They typically fall on Christmas Eve and the three days following the Boxing Day public holiday.  

Colleagues who have booked Christmas Eve as annual leave should cancel this day in the HR System. 

Colleagues who are part time and their non working day falls on Christmas Eve 2021 should arrange with their line manager for an alternative day off, typically the preceding working day. 

Colleagues who are full time working a compressed working pattern are permitted to take an alternative day off in agreement with their line manager, typically the preceding working day. 

Colleagues who are scheduled to work as part of a rota system should continue to work unless otherwise advised by their line manager.  Colleagues required to work on Christmas Eve will be permitted an alternative day off in agreement with their line manager. 

An alternative day will be designated for Christmas Eve, typically the preceeding working day.  Further communication on the specific day assigned will be shared in early 2022.
