My post-doc has left the research organisation, and it will take a few months before a replacement is found, what should I do?
If this is the only person employed on the award you can request that the award be placed into abeyance (on hold) for the period of the gap employment. The maximum period of abeyance for the total duration of an award is 12 months. During the abeyance period no payments will be made to the research organisation and no research should be carried out during this time. When requesting an abeyance period you must state an expected end date. If there is more than one person employed on the award then you can apply for a spending period extension. You should apply for the spending period extension when the replacement person has started work so we know what the gap in employment has been. Email your regional contact with the details, copying in your research grants/finance office.
