Introduction
We have created this site as a way of bringing together all the the current guidance and information we have to assist people in recruiting, developing and managing their staff. We aim to develop this site further over the next few months including the introduction of a set of staff-related reports which will both support the implementation of policies such as the sickness absence policy but also provide Heads of Academic Schools with information from the HR system to help with the management of fixed-term contracts, probation etc.
We would very much welcome your feedback on the current site and any development you would like us to make here.
If you are looking for general HR information for all staff on leave (academic, study, paternity, maternity, adoption, etc.), flexible working, pay and promotion, please go to the Information for Staff website.
