After 10 years service your annual leave entitlement increases to 30 days. Three major flexibilities are in operation.
Most institutes operate a flexible working hours scheme.
The type and availability of these schemes vary between sites. The conditioned working week is 37 hours per week exclusive of lunch periods. Subject to work requirement, this scheme allows employees to take time off work during the school holidays to look after their children. The annual salary, reduced according to the amount of unpaid leave required, is then paid at the same monthly rate throughout the year. Again subject to work requirements, this is where the employee either works fewer hours per day or per week than those in a full-time post, or where two employees voluntarily share the responsibility of one full time position.
