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

November 13, 2024

With the holiday season approaching, please note that 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 paid leave dates are Friday, Dec. 27; Monday, Dec. 30; and Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024.

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 to affected units.

For more information, visit the Human Resources website. 


If you have any questions, please contact your Human Resources Advisor or Associate.


Warm wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season.


Adam Charania

Interim Vice-President, Human Resources
