Members of Southampton University and College Union (UCU) have voted overwhelmingly in favour of implementing the new contract of employment templates for levels 4-6.
UCU members were invited to participate in a ballot, which ran from 14 September 2017 to 10 October 2017, to approve new master contract of employment templates for levels 4-6. The ballot outcome was positive and approval has been provided for the new contract templates.
The Master Contract Template Project has produced a set of modernised contract of employment templates, which are legally compliant, simple to understand, and, where possible, have future proofed standard clauses.
The new contract templates are effective from 1 November 2017 for new starters joining the University on or after this date, as well as those staff being promoted on or after this date.
The HR Team would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed their time to this project.
