Hourly-paid: negotiating check-list
20 October 2008
This checklist has been devised for branches/LAs negotiating on the assimilation of hourly paid staff under the Framework Agreement.
Issue | Done |
All roles occupied by hourly paid staff to be included in role analysis/JE | |
For academic staff, assimilation to grading structure should be by matching to the national academic role profiles | |
The national role profiles should not be amended such that they no longer read across (eg T&S 2, T&R 2 and Research 2 should all be on the same grade) | |
Current levels of pay/job titles should NOT determine grade | |
Hourly paid lecturing staff should be assumed to be on at least Grade Ac2 | |
Effective date of implementation as for other staff - BUT cannot restrict members' rights to pursue Equal Pay claims | |
Progression within grade assured | |
Progression between grades consistent with comparable staff | |
Negotiate for pro-rata contracts | |
Negotiate for permanent contracts | |
Negotiate for harmonisation of terms and conditions | |
If hourly-rates continue, follow JNCHES guidance (post-92) or negotiate on method of calculation, paid holiday and multiplier (pre-92) | |
Communicate to hourly-paid staff (members and non-members) | |
Involve hourly-paid members | |
Ensure support of hourly-paid members before any agreements made | |
Publicise any successes! |
