As announced in July, our summer holiday close-down period is set at three weeks, with the last day of work for 2020 being Friday 18 December.
The ELT considered the feedback of the Wellbeing Survey, along with comments around staff fatigue after the COVID-19 lockdowns and inability for staff to take their usual leave mid-year. They also had to consider the large leave balances we are carrying, which indicates that many staff are due for a break.
On this basis they decided that the for close-down period for 2020, our last day will be Friday 18 December 2020, returning Monday 11 January 2021. This means you will be using eleven annual leave days and will have a break in total of 23 days (includes statutory days). Some staff may wish to take a longer break.
You can book your leave now.
