SECTION 2.2
iv.
You are required to give at least four weeks' written notice of a holiday of
one week or more and one week's notice for shorter holidays. You will be
provided with an Annual Leave/Absence Record which will state your full
holiday entitlement for the year, and on which you should record your
holiday and other absences. Each day taken as leave will be subtracted
from the original figure to show the amount of days left to take. The dates
of your holiday must be approved by your Head of Department or
Supervising College Officer in advance. You may not be absent from work
on holiday for more than two weeks at a time. Under exceptional
circumstances, we may agree to a longer holiday. If we do so, you must
obtain our written agreement.

viii.
You are required to take two consecutive weeks absence in each holiday year,
during which time you are required not to participate actively in College business.
It is the College’s policy to encourage you to take all of your holiday entitlement
in the current holiday year. However, with the prior consent of the College, a
maximum of 5 days holiday may be carried forward into the next holiday year
and must be used within the first month of the holiday year. Save on termination
of employment, no payment can be made for unused holiday entitlement.
On the termination of your employment, when you have taken more or less than
your accrued holiday entitlement, an adjustment based on your normal rate of
pay will be made from your final pay. The adjustment will either be by way of a
deduction if you have taken more than your entitlement or an additional payment
when you have taken less than your entitlement.
Your normal daily rate of pay for holiday purposes is as detailed in your statement
of main terms and conditions of employment.
ix.
Unauthorised absences may be approved as holiday, at the discretion of the
Supervising College Officer, or may remain unauthorised and unpaid and may
give rise to disciplinary action.
