Human Resources Director Nick Crowley advises staff about this year’s close-down period.
Each year, the University closes for the end of year holiday period. The close-down period this year will occur from COB Friday 24 December 2021 until the University re-opens on Tuesday 4 January 2022.
In addition to gazetted public holidays, the University provides employees with three additional concessional days off. A table of the public holidays and concessional days for this year is provided below:
| Friday 24 December 2021 | Normal working day – University closes at 5pm |
| Monday 27 December 2021 | Public holiday (Christmas Day) |
| Tuesday 28 December 2021 | Public holiday (Boxing Day) |
| Wednesday 29 December 2021 | University concessional day |
| Thursday 30 December 2021 | University concessional day |
| Friday 31 December 2021 | University concessional day |
| Monday 3 January 2022 | Public holiday (New Year’s Day) |
| Tuesday 4 January 2022 | University re-opens – normal working day |
Staff wishing to take annual leave or other leave before or after the close-down period should discuss their plans with their manager.
If a staff member is required, for operational reasons, to work over the close-down period they should discuss alternative arrangements, which might include alternative days or payment for work, with their manager.
Questions about the close-down period should be directed to your Human Resources contact.
