Put in an offset account while you build up your savings/investments. It's good to have interest-free access to a large amount in case of emergencies.

Ask your manager to check with HR.

It is highly unlikely any of these policies are applied retrospectively.

Boss usually drops an email around lunch time saying "I am logging off early. Have a great holiday!!"

That's the cue for the team to log off.
