The University will engage an employee on terms that correspond with one or other of the employment types prescribed in this section.

  1. Upon engagement, the University will provide to the employee an instrument of appointment which stipulates the type of employment and informs the employee of the terms of engagement at the time of the appointment in relation to:

    1. for employees other than casuals, the classification level and salary of the employee on commencement of the employment, and the hours or the fraction of full-time hours to be worked;

    2. for a fixed-term employee, the term of the employment and the circumstance(s) by reference to which the use of fixed-term contract for the type of employment has been decided for that employment;

    3. for casuals, the duties required, the number of hours required, the rate of pay for each class of duty required and a statement that any additional duties required and directed by the University during the term will be paid for; and

    4. for any employee subject to probationary employment, the length and terms of the probation; and

    5. the duties and reporting relationships to apply upon appointment.

  2. Nothing in this Agreement prevents an employee from engaging in additional work as a casual in work unrelated to, or identifiably separate from, the employee’s normal duties. The employee must notify their supervisor in writing within seven (7) days of commencing any additional work (whether with the University or elsewhere).
