, I write to let you know the Â鶹´«Ã½’s approach to those taking part in the marking and assessment boycott in the forthcoming A3 (resit) assessment period. As you will be aware from our previous communication the Â鶹´«Ã½ does not accept partial performance. It is important that you read this email alongside the industrial action frequently asked questions (FAQs).
- Colleagues taking part in the marking and assessment boycott during the A3 period will have salary deductions capped at 10 days at 25%. This means the maximum deduction any participant will face will equate to an effective deduction of 2.5 days’ salary.
- Those who want to end their participation in the boycott should inform their Head of School and email Human Resources via: IAqueries@sussex.ac.uk.
- The above applies to the A3 (resit) assessment period.
Colleagues are expected to continue to declare their participation in the marking and assessment boycott during the A3 period via self-declaration.
Further information is available on our Industrial Action webpages, which include FAQs and a full glossary of terms.
