Casual Workers
Casual workers are workers at the University who have no regular working pattern or are engaged for a short period of less than 12 weeks. In October 2023, the University of Nottingham, jointly with the University and College Union (UCU) branch, launched the Casual Engagement Principles to govern the use of casual workers at the University, any casual engagement should be reviewed, regularly, with the HR Business Partner to ensure alignment with these principles.
Casual workers are issued with a letter of assignment that includes a summary of their terms and conditions rather than a formal contract.
What you need to know
As a casual worker, you’ll need to check and present to your manager your eligibility to work in the UK and keep note of the hours you’ve worked.
As a manager, you’ll also need to check your workers eligibility to work in the UK and complete a casual worker position request form and a job requisition form via UniCore so approval can be obtained.
It’s important that a casual worker engagement is never used as a way of giving an individual a “trial”.
