Teaching Hours for Existing General Staff Policy

1. Purpose

To define a mechanism by which general staff can be utilised to perform teaching hours.

2. Scope

This policy applies to all permanent and temporary CIT general staff.

3. Principles

3.1 Where a general staff member is to take up casual teaching duties they must have approval to work a second job (see Application for Approval of a Second Job (internal access only) from the Shared Services Customer Service Portal), have read a copy of the Institute Guidelines for Approval to Engage in Outside Employment (Second Job) and either:

• have an approved period of leave without pay for the period of casual teaching;
• have an approved period of flex time;
• reduce their normal hours of employment;
• teach outside of their normal working hours.

3.2 Once approval to work a second job is given it remains current for the remainder of the calendar year unless it is withdrawn earlier. The approval must be renewed each year.
