Employee resources Working at Flinders End of year University closure

University Closure Period

The University will close at 1.00 pm on Tuesday 24 December 2024 and will reopen on Thursday 2 January 2025.

     Pay deadlines

Public holidays

Public holidays which will be observed during the end of year closure period (as specified under the Enterprise Agreement) are as follows:

  • Christmas Day Holiday (Wednesday 25 December 2024)
  • Proclamation Day Holiday (Thursday 26 December 2024)
  • APS public holiday (observed by the University on Friday 27 December 2024)
  • New Year’s Day (Wednesday 1 January 2025)

Annual recreation leave

The following days will count as annual recreation leave for all staff working until the University closure at 1.00 pm on 24 December 2024. 

  • Monday 30 December 2024
  • Tuesday 31 December 2024           

Academic staff - In accordance with clause 30.3.1 of the Enterprise Agreement, academic staff will have these 2 days automatically deducted from their annual recreation leave entitlement (in addition to the balance of the “block” leave booking for January 2025). There is provision for reversal of this leave in limited circumstances provided there is an operational need and where it can be justified that leave is required later in the year. In these cases, the future leave should also be booked at the time of the reversal. Reversal of this leave is not available for any staff member who has an annual leave balance in excess of 294 hours (pro rata for part time staff)..

Professional staff – All professional staff will have these 2 days of annual leave block booked by People and Culture for the University closure period noted above. Reversal of this leave is not available for any staff member who has an annual leave balance in excess of 294 hours (pro rata for part time staff).

 

Extended Annual Leave

Whilst the official closure period noted above includes 2 days of leave, the University is strongly encouraging staff to take an extended break from 23 December 2024 returning on Monday 6 January 2025, which results in 5.5 working days of leave but nearly 2 full weeks off with the public holidays. Those with sufficient leave are encouraged to take a longer break over this generally quieter time.

 

 

 

Pay arrangements

Salaries will be available to staff on the normal pay days of:

  • 13 December 2024
  • 27 December 2024
  • 10 January 2025

The recreation leave loading will be included in the pay of 13 December 2024.
