Consultation on payments for those with a contractual duty to examine and supervise

Personnel Committee is reviewing the use of examination and supervision fees, with the aim of simplifying the current system and ensuring that fair rates are paid to all. It is considering whether, as part of introducing a new fee schedule, fees should continue to be paid to those who have a contractual duty to supervise/examine as part of their normal academic duties. All staff are invited to take part in a consultation on this issue. The consultation opens on 14 January and closes on 19 March.

It has now been decided by GPC and by Council that print production of the Gazette will not resume when COVID-19-related lockdowns end.
