32. Exchange of Annual Leave Loading for Extra Leave

32.1 Staff members may volunteer, in January each year, to receive three and one-half (3.5) days' leave in addition to annual leave. In return they will forfeit their entitlement to payment of annual leave loading in the year in which the additional leave is credited. These three and a half extra days' leave will be taken in accordance with normal University leave processes, but are non-cumulative and must be taken prior to 31 December in any given year.

32.2 Exit from the scheme is open only in January each year.
