The Varied Australian National University Enterprise Agreement 2005-2008

Part Four - Leave and Holidays

33. Public Holidays and University closure

33.1 Public Holidays
Any day gazetted or proclaimed as a public holiday where a staff member works will be allowed to him or her on full pay, except that a casual staff member who is not required to work on such a day will not be entitled to payment for that day.

33.2 Picnic Day
The ACT Trades and Labour Council’s picnic day will be regarded as a public holiday for a staff member within the cleaner, grounds, hospitality, maintenance, printing and security streams.

33.3 University Closure
The closure of the University during the Christmas-New Year period will be determined by the Vice-Chancellor. A Dean or Director may vary these arrangements for an organisational unit in order to meet essential operational or research requirements.  Where an organisational unit does close, the staff of that unit will be granted paid leave for those days which are not public holidays and which they would otherwise have worked.  Where an organisational unit is closed and a staff member is directed to work, time in lieu or paid leave will be granted for time worked.
