Additional 2023 leave entitlement for the King’s coronation

All staff will be given an additional day of annual leave in 2023 to reflect the additional UK bank holiday on Monday 8 May for King Charles III’s coronation. 

The equivalent of an additional day’s leave will automatically be added to your 2023 entitlement in People and Money. This will be pro-rated if you work part time, joined the University after 1 January 2023 or leave before 31 December 2023.  

You don’t need to take this additional leave on the day of the bank holiday itself, 8 May 2023, and can request to use it at any point during the annual leave year. 

You must request the time off in People and Money in the same way as any other holiday.

If you are employed on a guaranteed minimum hours contract, your additional holiday allowance percentage will be increased for the year 2023 only, to represent this additional leave. 

The University will remain open on Monday 8 May in line with our general policy on public and bank holidays.
