03026: Terms of employment

Field Information

Number: 006
Name: Terms of employment
Abbreviation: TERMS
Length: 1
Status: This field must be completed with a valid code for all staff.
Description: The Terms of employment field describes the type of contract held.
Notes: This field should show the terms of employment at the return date or the end date of the contract if earlier.

Code '1' should be used for standard open-ended permanent contracts.

Code '2' should be used for rolling fixed-term contracts.

Code '3' should include staff who meet the definition of atypical by the DTI . The definition can be found on page 11 of this document (Section 1, paragraph 23).

The fact that a member of staff is on probation is not in itself a reason for coding their terms of employment as in any way temporary rather than permanent.

Code '1' should be used for term-time only staff on open ended contracts and either '2' or '4' returned in field 7, Mode of employment.
Reason Required: To monitor the employment terms and conditions of HE staff.
