Hello everyone

Some of you may be aware that there was an email sent out yesterday stating that SMT have agreed to close the University at 4.00 p.m. today.
The Libraries have been advertising a 5.00 p.m. closure for today. The email arrived while the Learning Resources Party was in full swing and I was unable to consult with my team. Having talked it through this moring, I feel that the Library needs to honour the advertised 5.00 p.m. closure. Therefore Law, Education, Macmillan Brown and EPS libraries will still close at 5.00 p.m. today.

I have spoken with HR and it is agreed that all staff who work until 5.00 p.m. will be granted an hour as TIL.
So please make sure that it this is noted within each branch who worked through until 5.00 p.m., and that you all take your entitlement when you return to work in the new year. I will try to visit all of the branches in that last hour of service.

I will note in my diary for the year end 2011 that there was a 4.00 p.m. closure and will ensure once it is confirmed that this time is the advertised closing time in 2011.

Happy holidays everyone – we all deserve a fantastic break.
