1 May
In previous years, there have been various ways of handling the decision of whether 1 May should be a day off.
In some sections, a few employees have had a day off on request, whereas others have been more unassuming.
The Department’s Management Committee wishes to make sure that we have the same guidelines throughout the Department.
As a rule, 1 May is considered to be a normal working day, where you are expected to go to work.
Should an employee need a full or partial day off, please contact the Head of Department, who will in each case consider the request.
Employees governed by a collective agreement - where 1 May is a holiday - are not requested to ask for a day off.
