3. Long service award
Colleagues who have achieved significant durations of service will now be recognised formally by the University.
Every July, HR will circulate a list of colleagues who are eligible for a 10, 15 or 20 years of continuous service award to all Deans and Directors.
Colleagues will be acknowledged with a financial gesture of £50 which increases to £75 and then £100 once 10, 15 and 20 years of continuous service have been achieved respectively. This is in addition to the current policy for those who have achieved 25 years service, which has not changed. More details on recognition for staff with 25 years continuous service can be found on the Long service web page.
Additionally, an annual event will take place to collectively recognise staff who have achieved 10, 15, 20 and 25 years of service and colleagues will receive a personal congratulatory note from the Vice-Chancellor (in cases of 25 years service), Dean or Director.
We are proud that we are able to offer financial recognition as a thank you to those who have served the University for substantial amounts of time. This policy will come in with immediate effect and only apply going forwards. This is in addition to the current arrangement of an extra day of annual leave added to leave cards.
