Annual leave application and recording

A staff member is to apply for annual leave on the Application for Leave form obtainable in administrative unit offices. The leave application form, approved by the Head of Administrative Unit or nominee, is to be forwarded to the Human Resources Division, Clayton campus for recording and payment of leave and, where required, a salary advance.

Alternatively, staff may apply for leave online using Employee Self Services.

The period of leave is to be recorded as commencing on the next University working day after duties cease and as ending on the University working day prior to the staff member's return to duty, except where leave commences or ends during a day, in which case that day is to be included.

The amount of leave taken is to be recorded as the sum total of the University working days/fractions of days ordinarily worked by the staff member, excluding any University holidays, during the leave period.
