Common use of Workload Formula Clause in Contracts

Workload Formula. (a) A workload formula will be in place in each academic unit (or commonly across more than one academic unit). The workload formula will: (i) be developed through a collegial process; and (ii) be generally supported by the employees in the academic unit(s); and (iii) provide for the equitable and transparent allocation of workload within the academic unit. (b) To support a transparent allocation of workload, a workload formula will enable an employee to compare their workload with every other individual employee across the academic unit. (c) The workload formula will be developed in a way that identifies a transparent correlation between the measure applied and the hours of work generated by each relevant academic activity. The workload formula will cover, where relevant: (i) Teaching, including • the level of courses taught; • modes of delivery of teaching and learning activities, including online teaching work; • the scale of teaching responsibilities including the number of students, the time required for delivery of class related activities including lectures, tutorials, laboratories and associated activities such as course co-ordination, preparation, assessment and marking, and student consultation; • overseas teaching; (ii) education related activities, such as syllabus and curriculum design, development and revision (other than normal preparation for teaching); resourcing, leading and engaging others in education (e.g. through updating teaching resources, audits, reviews or training) and improving the impact of education (e.g. through pedagogical innovation and scholarship); (iii) supervision of staff and students; (iv) research, scholarship and creative production; (v) staff development activities; (vi) field work supervision; (vii) internal and external professional work; (viii) administration; (ix) any reasonable accommodation for disability; (x) special studies program or internal release. (d) The workload formula must contain a quantifiable maximum on required workload measured in hours and a quantifiable maximum on teaching contact hours. A full-time education focused employee will be allocated a maximum of 1,288 hours per annum of teaching and education related duties (as set out in subclauses 24.2(c)(i) and (ii) above) to ensure that at least 20% of their workload is outside of these responsibilities. Despite this, the requirements of this sub- clause will be taken to have been met in circumstances where some types of work (other than teaching and related tasks) are excluded in respect of all staff or all staff in particular categories, but with an appropriate reduction in the total workload accounted for in the model. (e) The allocation of teaching contact hours (face to face or online) to an employee will be consistent with the workloads formula. It is recognised that allocated teaching duties to an employee may ebb and flow over the course of a year. The maximum teaching contact hours may be defined on an average weekly basis during a teaching period or such other basis as agreed in the academic unit. The teaching contact hours of a fractional employee will be based on an equivalent fraction of teaching contact expectations of a full-time employee within the academic unit. (f) Where an agreement has been made in accordance with clause (c) of Schedule 3 for an employee to perform a predominantly education focused role for a defined period, the maximum teaching contact hours for an education focused role referred to in 24.2(d) above will apply. (g) Work allocated to an employee will be reduced to reflect any significant periods of planned leave, or significant unplanned leave (e.g. sick leave) in excess of the standard four weeks annual leave per annum. Work allocated to an employee will be increased to reflect circumstances where the employee takes significantly less than the standard four weeks annual leave per annum. (h) Where a significantly higher or lower workload is allocated to an employee in one year (or an alternative period specified in the workloads formula) disregarding any adjustments referred to in subclause 24.2(g) above, an equivalent adjustment to the employee’s workload allocation will be made in the following year (or alternative period as agreed by the employee).

(d) The workload formula It must contain a quantifiable maximum on required workload measured in hours and subject to the provisions of 24.2 (f) a quantifiable maximum upper limit on teaching contact hours. A full-time education focused employee will be allocated a maximum of 1,288 hours per annum of teaching and education related duties (as set out in subclauses 24.2(c)(i) and (ii) above) to ensure that at least 20% of their workload is outside of these responsibilities. Despite this, the requirements of this sub- sub-clause will shall be taken to have been met in circumstances where some types of work (other than teaching and related tasks) are excluded in respect of all staff or all staff in particular categories, but with an appropriate reduction in the total workload accounted for in the model. (d) The development of the workloads formula will take into account a range of factors, including, where relevant: • the level of courses; • modes of delivery; • the scale of teaching responsibilities including the number of students and classes and associated activities such as course co-ordination, preparation, marking and consultation; • supervision of staff and students; • research, scholarship and creative production; • curriculum development and revision, other than normal preparation for teaching; • staff development activities; • field work supervision; • internal and external professional work; • administration; • any reasonable accommodation for disability; • overseas teaching; • special studies programme or internal release.

It is recognised that allocated teaching duties to an employee may ebb and flow over the course of a year. The maximum teaching contact hours may be defined on an average weekly basis during a teaching period or such other basis as agreed in the academic unit. The teaching contact hours of a fractional employee will be based on an equivalent fraction of teaching contact expectations of a full-time employee within the academic unitAcademic Unit. It is recognised that allocated teaching duties to an employee may ebb and flow over the course of a year. (f) Where an agreement has been made in accordance with clause (c) of Schedule 3 for an employee to perform a predominantly education focused teaching role for a defined period, the maximum teaching contact hours for an education focused role referred to in 24.2(d24.2(c) above will applymay be exceeded on a proportional basis. (g) Work allocated to an employee will be reduced to reflect any significant periods of planned leave, or significant unplanned leave (e.g. eg sick leave) in excess of the standard four weeks annual leave per annum. Work allocated to an employee will be increased to reflect circumstances where the employee takes significantly less than the standard four weeks annual leave per annum. (h) Where a significantly higher or lower workload is allocated to an employee in one year (or an alternative period specified in the workloads formula) disregarding any adjustments referred to in subclause 24.2(g) above, an equivalent adjustment to the employee’s workload allocation will be made in the following year (or alternative period as agreed by the employeeperiod).
