Hours of work

Please note, a University of Exeter employee cannot have two jobs at the University (including occasional/casual worker) where the hours together would be greater than full time i.e. 36.5 hours. In exceptional circumstances and where the additional role is significantly different from the employee's substantive role, there may be circumstances where this is allowable. Written justification must be made and approval must be given by the Director of HR Services. Please contact your Senior HR Partner for more information.

Professional Services staff

Full time appointments are contracted to work a 36.50 hour week, over five days, to suit the requirements of the Faculty/Department, as notified by the Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Director of Services. The hours of part-time staff are specified in the letter of appointment.

Staff in grades E and above may be required to work additional hours to fulfil the requirements of their role without the expectation of time-off-in-lieu or additional payment.

To meet operational requirements in certain services, where appropriate, and following consultation with staff in that area (and/or trade union representatives), the University will apply flexible working arrangements so that the average working week does not exceed 36.5 hours per week.
