* Holiday Entitlement
The University’s holiday leave year runs from 1 January - 31 December: The following standardised holiday arrangements will normally apply for all staff: The following holidays are based on standard days and where staff have other working arrangements, e.g. shifts which require working longer periods, the equivalent amount of leave will be available.
There may be variations to these arrangements in particular departments depending on operational requirements.
For guidance on calculating a pro-rata amount of holiday entitlement for part time staff, please refer to your main statement of terms and conditions.
It should be noted that some departments will continue to provide cover over the Christmas and Easter closures. Where staff are required to work on a closure day, they will be paid at single time and that holiday will be taken at another time as agreed with the management.
