This year MEGT would like to ensure all staff have the best possible opportunity to enjoy the festivities, and reduce the likelihood of anyone being unable to attend.
As such, line managers of each department/team will be allocated a budget, giving each team the opportunity to organise their own Christmas event.
Important information:
- The date and time of celebrations are to be decided by the department/team but must be outside of normal business hours or within an allocated lunch break time.
- There will not be a Melbourne metro Christmas party as has been in previous years, however divisions and teams are more than welcome to come together and organise a joint celebration.
In addition, all permanent MEGT staff will take the three days off between Boxing Day and New Year’s Day without deduction from Annual Leave. This is a gift from MEGT and is in recognition of the contribution and out of hours work staff perform.
This year the Christmas Closedown dates are Wednesday, 28 December 2016 to Friday, 30 December 2016. Staff will be required to return to work on Tuesday, 3 January 2017.
If you have any questions, please speak to your line manager directly.
