New engagements
New Sessional, Casual Academic Research Assistants, or Casual Professional staff members can be engaged through the improved ‘New Casual or Sessional Request’ form via REX. Once assessed and endorsed, the request details will be used to generate a Terms of Engagement. An Offer of Work will accompany the Terms of Engagement for Sessional and Casual Academic Research Assistants.
Sessional and Casual Academic Research Assistants engaged before 26 August 2024
A ‘New Casual or Sessional Request’ form should be submitted via REX for existing staff if substantially new work is allocated (i.e. new unit/s and/or a new teaching period).
Processing of renewals via CEM
Sessional, Casual Academic Research Assistants or Casual Professional staff can continue to be renewed via CEM.
If the renewal is for a Sessional or Casual Academic Research Assistant staff member, the supervisor and business administrator will be prompted to complete a New Offer of Work Request form. A new Terms of Engagement and Offer of Work will then be issued.
Sessional staff and Casual Academic Research Assistants must not undertake any work for the University until they have accepted both the Terms of Engagement and an Offer of Work.
