Annual Leave
All annual leave in the WIBR should be recorded on the HR system MyView. All staff have access to this system to record annual leave*. If you do not have access to MyView please contact Alison Kelly. As well as MyView you may also have a system locally in your lab for recording annual leave (wall planner, shared calendar etc) please ask your lab manager how annual leave should be recorded in your group.
*The only exception are those staff on As and When contracts, who are working for the department for a short period of time and submit timesheets monthly for payment. As and When contracted staff should request annual leave from their supervisor or it can be paid to them at the end of their contract.
Appraisals
The Division of Medicine appraise staff every year in February. Staff and their line managers will be sent a reminder 3 months before an appraisal is due and will be asked to arrange an Appraisal Review Meeting. It is essential that all staff are given a formal opportunity to discuss their performance and receive feedback as well as agreeing objectives, training requirements and/or support needed; and for this to be recorded.
Please give completed paperwork to Alison Kelly after the appraisal.

End of Fixed-term Contracts
When you have a lab member who has a fixed term contract that is nearing it's end date it is important you meet with them to discuss redeployment (either in your lab or elsewhere) or termination of their contract. This meeting should takeplace at least 3 months before their contract is due to end.
Line Managers meet regularly with lab members and they do discuss contracts regularly but we need written evidence of a meeting 3 months before the contract end to provide to HR. Below is a template email that you could adapt when you know that a contract will be ending. Staff may be entitled to some redundancy pay if their contract is not renewed. In cases where staff resign to take another post, a letter of resignation is essential and should be emailed to Alison Kelly and Anita Gorasia as soon as possible so that a leaver form can be organised and payroll informed.
Further guidance can be found in the link below (note point 8 on Termination)

Leavers
Employees should formally notify HR if they resign from UCL. A resignation letter should be sent to the line manager and Alison Kelly stating the last working day at UCL and if there is any annual leave remaining. HR will organise to send the P45 to your address stated in MyView, so please make sure your contact details are up-to-date.
Please ensure that you complete a Leaver form for IT (below) and email it to wibr-itsupport@ucl.ac.uk
