UPNG staff raise concerns over annual leave

Due to the current arrangement of the revised calendar, staff will only be given four weeks’ annual leave instead of six weeks.

The second semester of 2016 will commence on November 7 and break for the festive period on December 19.

This is when the staff will take their leave and return to classes on January 16, 2017, to continue semester two after the four-week leave.

NASA president Emmanuel Gorea said this is in breach of their contracts.
