Academic Staff
Does this apply to me?The Academic Staff Agreement applies to all continuing and fixed-term full-time academic staff. It also applies to part-time academics where the conduct of additional work affects their ability to fulfil their employment duties, as outlined in the workload agreement, where is an association with the University, or where there is a potential conflict of interest.

A full-time academic staff member may spend up to an average of one day per week doing additional work.
Do I have to let anyone know, even if the work is unrelated to my University work?
It is essential to inform the Executive Dean (or DVC if not located in a School or College) of intention to undertake additional work.
What do I need to do?
You need to complete a declaration in relation to additional work on the Additional Work and Disclosure form and submit to your Executive Dean or DVC.
All Academic Staff need to complete an Additional Work Annual Report Form by the end of November each year.
If the University pays me to do additional work, may I receive payment through a private company?
No, payment must be through the payroll for continuing and fixed-term full-time or part-time staff members. For more details, see the Additional Work policy.
