Department and Program Head Duties. Department and Program Heads are responsible for the general administration and co-ordination of the department. This general co-ordination and administration is to ensure consistent and timely attention to operating needs of the department and program. The Head will implement UFV procedures and guidelines to ensure fairness in scheduling, allocation of work, and the delegation of tasks to department members from the Departmental Task list to ensure equitable workloads. The Head is responsible for promoting and maintaining the long-range interests and goals of the department or program. Routine tasks such as information gathering, departmental record keeping, and administration of student files will ordinarily be performed by staff employees, under the supervision of the Head and the Xxxx. Duties of the position will include employee performance management of staff employees as described in Article 4.1(b) and co-ordination of departmental responsibilities as detailed in the Departmental Tasks document. Priorities for the department will be set through discussions with the Xxxx of the area, and with the department. While it is expected that the Head will complete many of these tasks, others will be assumed by members of the department. In March of each year, the Labour and Management Committee (XXX) will provide the Union with a report on Department Head releases, stipends and compensation in lieu of releases.
