Policies and Procedures
Please note that due to the current constraints that apply to public bodies there is no guarantee that the University will be able to accede to requests by staff to avail of the various leave types other than statutory entitlements that are described on our Leave policy pages. Each case will be treated on its own merits with a view to facilitating the leave request and the subsequent need to put cover in place. Any decision will have regard to the operational needs of the School or Unit being met if financial and other considerations allow.
