The University and the University and College Union are pleased to announce that, following successful negotiations a new framework for the employment of part-time hourly-paid teaching staff has been agreed. It will be implemented for all new appointments from the next academic session, 2011/12.
As a responsible employer the University is committed to the principle of equal pay for work of equal value and to ensuring that colleagues engaged on a part-time hourly-paid basis experience conditions of employment and treatment broadly similar to colleagues employed on substantive contracts. Central to the new framework are new job descriptions which have been drafted and agreed and rates of pay that are linked to the national pay scale. From now on colleagues employed on a part-time hourly paid basis will receive payment on the basis of actual hours worked rather than payment based on student contact hours as in the past. Whilst the base hourly rates of payment have reduced the hours paid will increase on the basis of allowances for marking, preparation and all associated relevant activities that are incorporated.
For further details, including the full policy document, job descriptions, rates of pay and pay calculator, please visit the HR website at:
