Colleagues can carry up to 10 days into the 2023/24 leave year

The University's Annual Leave Policy allows for carry over of up to five annual leave days. We appreciate that this year, for various reasons, some colleagues have found it challenging to take all of their annual leave. Therefore, for this year only, you will be able to carry forward up to ten annual leave days (pro-rated for part-time staff).

• For those with an October to September holiday entitlement, you can choose to carry up to ten days into the 2023/24 leave year that commences on 1 October 2023. Any carry over should be taken by 31 December 2023.
• Individuals whose leave follows the calendar year can carry up to ten days into the holiday year commencing 1 January 2024. Any carry over should be taken by 31 March 2024.

On this occasion, carry forward can be done without seeking the authorisation of your line manager / Head of Department.
