At Macquarie Uni, Rahat Munir wants accounting academics to be at work, except when he doesn’t.

Professor Munir, head of the department of accounting and corporate finance, emailed staff yesterday to tell them, “a few staff are not regularly attending office without notification and/or permission,” which “is taken as unauthorised as per rules.”  He also advises, “I have noticed that a few staff members are attending the office while they are on their approved leave. Please note that it defeats the purpose of the leave and intention for which leave was taken and approved.”
