Academic Staff Leave

Full-time and part-time academic staff may be absent during teaching and examination periods to undertake activities relevant to the staff member's University responsibilities, provided that arrangements have been made to cover the absentee's teaching responsibilities, and that the absence has been approved by the Head of School.

Most leave applications are made online via the Employee Self Service (ESS) module. You can also check your leave balance and predict future leave balances in ESS.

Leave approvals are recorded online as well as via email.


Leave types not accessible through ESS, eg, leave of a more discretionary nature or leave which requires a higher authority to approve, such as maternity, long service or leave without pay, must be made by completing a leave application form.

Please see the HUPP for more information.
