ACADEMIC WORKLOAD ALLOCATION

POLICY


ACADEMIC WORKLOAD ALLOCATION POLICY

1. Preamble

1.1 The following policy, which has been produced by a Joint Working Group1,

establishes the basic principles for fair, equitable and balanced distribution of

work amongst academic staff.

1.2 It is intended that this policy will provide Heads of Department and Deans with a

framework within which models for workload planning will be developed and

operated.

1.3 Whilst there is a clear expectation that all academic staff will make a full

contribution to the goals of the University, Faculties and Departments, this policy

does not seek to alter the relative flexibility of working time of academic staff. It

is also important to consider this flexibility in relation to maintaining an

appropriate work-life balance.

2. Working Time

2.1 It is currently the case that hours of work are not specified within the employment

contract for academic staff. Therefore, there is an element of choice in the hours

worked. Academic Staff are expected to manage their own time to achieve the

objectives of their position, based on a normal expectation of a 39 hour week.

3. Principles of workload management

3.1 The University expects Heads of Department and Deans to endeavour to apply the

following principles when managing workload:

(i) Reasonable workloads will be fairly distributed between individual

employees in an open and consultative way.

(ii) Employer-driven work will be contained within socially acceptable

working hours, taking into account individual needs and circumstances.

(iii) Staff will be afforded the opportunity for regular, reasonable, daily,

weekly and annual breaks from work.

(iv) Time should be made available during reasonable working hours for the

full range of academic activities (i.e. teaching, research and service) as

well as professional development as appropriate.

1 Joint Working Group consists of Executive Deans, representatives of Heads of

Department, UNITE representatives and Human Resources.

(v) Staff will have access to reasonable development time (and resource) for

training appropriate to their role. Training and development needs will


normally be identified through the Performance Development Review

system (PDRs).

(vi) Should any member of staff wish to challenge and dispute the distribution

or volume of work as unfair or unreasonable, this should be discussed

informally with their Head of Department as soon as possible. This may

also be a matter for discussion at their PDRs meeting. If unresolved,

academic staff should raise the matter either informally with their Dean or

in accordance with the University Grievance Procedure.

4. Responsibilities of the Head of Department

4.1 Heads of Department will ensure that each academic staff member has a balanced

and reasonable workload in terms of activities and overall contribution relative to

all academic staff in the Department.

4.2 The expectation is that each Department will use the agreed and open procedure

set out in this document in order to consider the overall distribution of work,

which can be reasonably managed within the available resources.

4.3 It is the responsibility of the Head of Department to collect and monitor data

relating to workloads. Distribution of the workloads should be made public within

the Department and reviewed annually.

4.4 All areas of relevant activity (e.g. teaching, research and service) should be

included in individual workloads whether performed within the Department itself,

the Faculty, at University level or externally.

5. Application of this policy

5.1 Academic staff

(i) When managing workloads, Heads of Department should take account of

the need to provide the opportunity, during reasonable working hours, for

academic staff to engage in the broad spectrum of academic work.

(ii) Academic staff can be expected to undertake scheduled teaching and

examining duties during the normal academic year except when alternative

arrangements are agreed.

(iii) Employer-driven work will be carried out during reasonable working

hours. Duties outside of these times should be agreed with the member of

staff.


5.2 Newly appointed academic staff

The Head of Department / Dean will take full account of the demands on new

academic staff during the first year of their appointment

6. Academic Activity

Teaching, Research and Service are all valued activities. The Head of Department

/ Dean will endeavour to ensure an equitable distribution across the range of these

valued academic activities

6.1 Teaching responsibilities require academic staff to achieve a satisfactory standard

of instructional competence, to contribute to their Departments / Faculties

curriculum diversity and richness, to foster students’ critical and creative abilities

and to share equitably the annual instructional responsibilities of their

Departments / Faculties

6.2 Research responsibilities require academic staff to maintain a programme of

research, scholarship and/or artistic creativity through which they should aspire to

a national and international reputation as scholars. Academic staff will publish and

aspire to disseminate research in high-quality, internationally prominent journals

and books.

6.3 Service refers to the annual contributions that academic staff make to University

governance, its various committees, its various leadership roles including course

leadership, their profession, the development of their discipline locally, nationally

and internationally, and to the furthering of positive relations between the

University and its various communities.

7. Workload Allocation Models

7.1 Examples of 3 workload allocation models are attached in the appendices (two of

the models are available in excel format from HR).

8. Review

8.1 Each Department and Faculty will monitor the operation of workload planning

models annually.

8.2 The development of individual workload allocations may be aligned to the annual

Performance Development Review process.

8.3 Data emerging from this review will be retained within the Department and

Faculty for a period consistent with the University’s record retention policy in

compliance with current Data Protection and Freedom of Information legislation

8.4 This policy will be reviewed at least every three years.

Appendix 2 (Example 2 – Detailed Academic Workload Model)

Workloads and Resource Allocation in the Department

It is Department practice to try to allocate resources and control the amount of hours that

full-time staff members have to teach, as far as budgetary constraints allow, so as to

facilitate research development and output. In order to identify where support is needed

the Department uses a workload model to assess what faculty are doing.

The objective of the model is to ensure that, within the Department, the work undertaken

is seen to be reasonably evenly distributed. The scores are used to direct resources, in

particular teaching support, to where they are most needed.

The approach is to compute the total workload for the Department. This total is then

divided by the number of faculty to produce an average departmental load. Where staff

are significantly above this load they should receive more help with teaching assistance,

where they fall below it less help will be the norm. Allowances will be made for staff who

are new to the institution, starting their careers, and who have some other major

extenuating circumstance (for example time out for maternity, career breaks, sabbaticals

etc).

Process

Information for the model is gathered at the start of the spring semester when faculty are

asked to fill in forms on their activities, and calculate what they think their contribution to

departmental workload is. When this information has been collected faculty meet with the

Head of Department to plan their teaching for the coming year, and to assess the number

of hours of teaching assistance that they will receive.

Weightings

Each activity that we do is accorded a score: teaching, research, service. These are added

together to give the total Departmental score and this is divided by the number of faculty

to give the departmental average.

For teaching: all the modules delivered are given a score, with extra weight for large

groups, and first year modules. Supervision of FYPs, taught MA dissertations, MA theses

by research and PhD theses is also scored.

For research: nominal units are assigned for publications. Publications for the last five

calendar years are counted, divided by five to give a rolling average that smoothes out the

peaks and troughs of output. Co-authored pieces are divided by the number of

contributors. Management of a post-doc or a research assistant is also given weight in the

research score.

For service: units are assigned for UL duties, eg HOD, Course directorships

(MA/GradDip combinations count as one CD), Departmental Directors, etc, and for

Faculty and University functions. Some external functions are also included. Ex officio


memberships are not to be included, as they are already counted in the score for the

relevant post. 30 January 2009 LmxA
