The Parties agree that excessive overload teaching/professional library work is undesirable and for that reason compensation for teaching-related overloads from all sources, including courses administered through the Centre for Continuing Education, shall be limited to the maximum payable for 9 credits (as per Article 4.30 - Overloads) during the Fall/Winter Session (September to April), and for 6 credits during the Spring Session (May to August) or its equivalent in the Library.

Where the above limitation on total compensation to a Member involves a component from the supervision of a distance education course(s) according to Article 4.31 5, the University shall make available marking assistance as required and in keeping with the degree of limitation. c) From time to time, the Xxxx/Director of the Library, in consultation with the unit may request a Member to undertake additional duties over and above the normal workload.
