to take part in internal University examinations, at present without payment, and also to take part in conducting the Matriculation and Local Exainations, payment in the latter case being made according to a scale fixed by Council.
Owing to the difficulty of replacing members of the
staff absent on long leave, members of the staff in service
are required to assist in any reasonable way in carrying on the teaching work of the University, and may in this connection
be required from time to time to deliver lectures on subjects
of which they have a sufficient knowledge but which are
outside the work for which they are primarily engaged.
It
is a rule of the University that for such additional work
no special payment is made.
Members of the staff are not entitled to take
outside work without the authorisation of the Council.
The first contract does not carry the right to
long leave, but upon renewal of the contract the time already
served counts for long leave in the future.
So far as the
exigencies of the service permit, the long leave granted
which is on full sterling pay) approximate to 9 months leave
(in which a long vacation is included) after 4 years of
actual service. Full passages (up to a maximum equivalent
to the P. and C. return fare) ere at present paid for members
of the staff, their wives and children under sixteen when
proceeding on and returning from long leave.
Members of the staff, are generally speaking, free
to travel in the Far East during the summer long vacation,
though the conduct of the summer matriculation Examination
may to some extent limit this right.
In the Engineering
Faculty, members of the Faculty may be required to take
charge in rotation of the engineering plant during the summer
months. It should perhaps be stated that hotel expenses in
the Far East are at present decidedly high.
