No Show Fees for HR Staff Development Training Programs for 2009

The ANU HR Staff Development Branch endeavours to provide a range of development opportunities for ANU staff which are stimulating, interactive, and provide an opportunity to engage with colleagues. For most of these programs, a minimum number of people are required to gain sufficient interaction for learning to take place.

In order to reduce the rates of last minute ‘no shows’, the Branch has agreed not to introduce fees to all programs, but will instead implement a ‘no show’ penalty for staff who do not attend programs they are registered for. The penalty is $100 per person (per day if the course is for multiple days). Staff Development will also advise the relevant HR Manager or Business Manager

If staff are not able to attend a course they have registered for, and to avoid the penalty, they should:

1. Provide three (3) working days notice for internally facilitated courses, or five days (5) for an externally facilitated course, to Staff Development Branch; or
2. Find another appropriate person to attend in their place; or

Provide evidence of approved personal leave (paid or unpaid) from ESP (eg. print out) which cover(s) the day(s) they were absent.
