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

You are required <strong>to</strong> take two consecutive weeks absence in each holiday year,<br />
during which time you are required not <strong>to</strong> participate actively in <strong>College</strong> business.<br />
It is <strong>the</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s policy <strong>to</strong> encourage you <strong>to</strong> take all <strong>of</strong> your holiday entitlement<br />
in <strong>the</strong> current holiday year. However, with <strong>the</strong> prior consent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>College</strong>, a<br />
maximum <strong>of</strong> 5 days holiday may be carried forward in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> next holiday year<br />
and must be used within <strong>the</strong> first month <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> holiday year. Save on termination<br />
<strong>of</strong> employment, no payment can be made for unused holiday entitlement.<br />
On <strong>the</strong> termination <strong>of</strong> your employment, when you have taken more or less than<br />
your accrued holiday entitlement, an adjustment based on your normal rate <strong>of</strong><br />
pay will be made from your final pay. The adjustment will ei<strong>the</strong>r be by way <strong>of</strong> a<br />
deduction if you have taken more than your entitlement or an additional payment<br />
when you have taken less than your entitlement.<br />
Your normal daily rate <strong>of</strong> pay for holiday purposes is as detailed in your statement<br />
<strong>of</strong> main terms and conditions <strong>of</strong> employment.<br />

Unauthorised absences may be approved as holiday, at <strong>the</strong> discretion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Supervising <strong>College</strong> Officer, or may remain unauthorised and unpaid and may<br />
give rise <strong>to</strong> disciplinary action.<br />
