CHRISTMAS CLOSEDOWN 2008/2009

The end of year shutdown period for 2008/2009 will commence with the University being closed on Thursday 25 December and re-opening on Monday 5 January 2009.

Consistent with the decision last year to grant staff an additional day's leave due to the unusual timing of the public holidays, this year the university will grant Friday 2 January 2009 as an additional day's leave.

TAFE Teachers and General Staff

All General and TAFE Teaching staff will need to book three days of approved annual leave, time off in lieu (General staff only) or leave without pay for 29, 30, and 31 December 2008.

Academic Staff

In accordance with clause 36.4 of the Academic and General Staff Certified Agreement 2006 - 2008, Academic staff who worked on Labour Day in 2008 are only required to book one day of annual leave or leave without pay for 29 December 2008, as the university grants two non-cumulative university holidays to Academic staff who attend the workplace as a normal work day on Labour Day. These two days will be booked on 30 and 31 December 2008.
