Holidays and Annual Leave

Statutory and Customary holiday dates

In addition to the statutory Bank Holidays the University offers 5 additional customary days (pro rata for part time staff).

Holidays-Statutory-and-Customary-2011-2013 

Easter 2013

There will be an allocation for the Easter Bank Holiday in the holiday year 2013/14, however Good Friday is on 29th March 2013.  Because this falls within the 2012/2013 leave year those staff who book out bank holidays and would normally work on a Friday can either take Good Friday as part of their 2012/13 holiday entitlement or can ask their manager to bring forward a day or the relevant number of hours from the 2013/14 entitlement. Instructions for Managers on how to move days between holiday years are set out in the My Team User Guide. 

Annual Leave

Annual leave entitlement is based on grade and length of service.

The booking and authorisation of annual leave is via MyView, following a discussion with your line manager.

For part time staff leave is calculated in hours or days according to work patterns.  In certain circumstances (according to work patterns) statutory and customary holidays are incorporated into an overall leave entitlement calculation. Full details and scenarios are set out on the MyView page.

When you log into MyView and select the Holidays tab you can see your total holiday entitlement and the balance of holidays remaining. 

On the myview page you will find

• User Guides for staff and managers
• a video demonstration of how to book your holidays
• information on booking holidays for staff who work part time (according to work patterns)
• answers to some frequently asked questions

The leave year runs from 1 April to 31 March.  Currently staff are able to carry over up to 5 days to the end of April with the agreement of the Head of Department. Managers should refer to the My Team User Guide for instructions on how to do this.
