Notes | This field should show the employment function for the contract at the return date or the end date of the contract if earlier. The employment function relates to the contract of employment and not to the actual work undertaken. Code 1 'Academic contract that is teaching only' applies only to contracts indicating that staff are teaching only. Code 2 'Academic contract that is research only' should be used for those contracts where the primary academic employment function is research only, even though the contract may include a limited number of hours teaching (up to 6 hours per week or pro-rata for part-time staff). This code is particularly important for institutions in Scotland, as SFC has a specific need to monitor Contract Research Staff (CRS). Staff coded 1 'Academic contract that is teaching only' , 4 'Not an academic contract', or 9 'Academic contract that is neither teaching nor research' are not eligible to be submitted to the Research Excellence Framework (REF). Staff coded 2 'Academic contract that is research only' and 3 'Academic contract that is both teaching and research' may be eligible for submission to the REF and the distinction between codes 2 and 3 does not have any impact on their eligibility. If a contract is for both academic and non-academic work then the appropriate code from 1 to 3 should only be used where the primary employment function is teaching and/or research. Code 9 'Academic contract that is neither teaching nor research' should be used for academic contracts where the primary employment function is not teaching and/or research. |
