Departure

Here you will find the relevant policies, procedures and processes to be followed for staff leaving the University. If you cannot find what you are looking for please contact HR.

Retirement

In light of recent changes to legislation to remove the Default Retirement Age, the University is reviewing all related policies and procedures, including the Pre-Retirement Scheme.

In the meantime, if a member of staff is resigning to retire, is accessing their pension (University or state) and is not planning to return to work at the University, they will be entitled to run down days, as follows:

One day of leave per week during the period six months to three months prior to retirement, and two days of leave per week during the last three months of service.

This provision is pro rata for part time members of staff, is in addition to existing annual leave entitlement and statutory and customary holidays, and does not involve any loss of pay. The actual days of leave are to be agreed with the line manager, so as to minimise inconvenience to the University. If 6 months notice is not given the member of staff will be entitled to the remaining run down days, it will not be backdated.
