Important Information
During the comment process you are connected to a database. Like internet banking, the session that connects you to the database may time-out due to inactivity. If you do not have JavaScript running you will recieve a message to advise you of the length of time before the time-out. If you have JavaScript enabled, the time-out is lengthy and should not cause difficulty, however you should note the following tips to avoid losing your comments or corrupting your entries:
-
DO NOT jump between web pages/applications while logging comments.
-
DO NOT log comments for more than one document at a time. Complete and submit all comments for one document before commenting on another.
-
DO NOT leave your submission half way through. If you need to take a break, submit your current set of comments. The system will email you a copy of your comments so you can identify where you were up to and add to them later.
-
DO NOT exit from the interface until you have completed all three stages of the submission process.

Leave accrued during the secondment or exchange must be taken prior to the expiration of the secondment or exchange period.

The costs of any overtime, meal allowances and expenses related to work in the host organisation are to be met by the host organisation. (12) Where a University employee is seconded to an external organisation to fulfil the needs of that organisation, the host organisation is normally responsible for all the costs associated with the secondment unless other arrangements are agreed between the relevant parties.
