General purpose
To meet the requirements of employment law and to safeguard the University’s position as an employer, the University expects most individuals engaged to work for the University to be employed in accordance with standard employment arrangements (ie on a contract of employment approved via the SR1 process). The claims payroll should only be used for engagements which are ad hoc or of very short duration.
Individuals are engaged on a claims basis for a number of reasons, where the engagement is ad hoc or of a very short duration. For example:
- short-term/ad hoc administrative or clerical work (the Temporary Staff Bank (TSB) in Human Resources);
- casual bar, catering or cleaning work in Campus Services;
- short-term/ad hoc basis academic work – such as tutorials, teaching, guest lecturer etc – as an Occasional Teacher or External Examiner or Graduate Teaching Assistant;
- students engaged on a casual basis – eg by Academic Services, DARO and Colleges – for open days, fundraising etc;
- casual instructors in the Sports Office;
- exam invigilators.
