Remaining leave should be taken by the end of September

As summer approaches, please check your remaining annual leave allowance and book time off before the end of the leave year. The standard annual leave year runs from 1 October to 30 September (unless varied by local agreement).

As specified in the University’s Annual Leave Policy, all colleagues should take all of their leave entitlement by 30 September.

5 days may be carried forward by agreement with your Line Manager (this is pro rata for part-time employees). Applications to carry forward more than 5 days leave must be made in writing to your Head of Department - authorisation will only be agreed in exceptional circumstances and will be limited to a maximum of 10 days (pro rata for part-time employees).

Any unused holiday will be lost, so please speak to your line manager and plan ahead.
