The University will close from 23 December until 1 January

The University will be closed for ten days over Christmas. The break is made up of two weekends, three bank holidays and three closure days. You need to use time from your annual leave entitlement for the bank holidays and closure days.

Annual leave and Christmas closure

Full-time employees have an entitlement to 38 days leave, made up of eight bank holidays and 30 days annual leave. The 30 days annual leave is normally split between 27 days to be taken by arrangement with your manager and three closure days that fall over the Christmas/New Year period.

Staff who are not at work because it is a public holiday or closure day need to to take that time from their annual leave entitlement.
