Paid leave for staff between Boxing Day and New Year’s Day

As you may be aware, certain UBC staff are eligible for paid leave during the university’s seasonal closure — the three normal working days between Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. This year’s seasonal closure falls on Dec. 29, 30, and 31, 2020.

This paid leave is addressed in the collective agreements with BCGEU Okanagan, CUPE 2950, CUPE 116 and IUOE 115, and the agreement with AAPS. Although there are no official provisions in place for non-union staff, excluded Management & Professional staff, and service unit directors, Human Resources has provided recommendations regarding the seasonal closure for these staff groups.

If you have any questions, please contact your Human Resources Advisor or Associate: https://hr.ubc.ca/contact/contact-advisory-services.
