Casual Teaching

Casual Teaching Procedures

Casual teaching may be undertaken by Honours and postgraduate students with the permission of the Unit Co-ordinator. To register for casual teaching, complete the following forms and submit to the School Manager for approval. (You only have to do this once):

• Casual Teaching Employment Proposal
• Salary Transfer Form
• Tax file number declaration (available from the Physics Office)

First Year Demonstrating

First year Unit Co-ordinators are responsible for preparing unit teaching schedules each semester. This includes timetabling total weekly teaching activities and teaching hours for each first year unit.

Prospective casual employees can sign up for first year demonstrating by consulting with Unit Coordinators before the start of semester. Unit Coordinators then compile a teaching timetable for each Demonstrator, which remains fixed for the semester.

Payments are processed according to the scheduled agreement between Unit Coordinators and Demonstrators, so no pay claims need to be submitted.

Demonstrators must inform Unit Coordinators when there is diversion from their teaching plan. This must be done in advance where possible so adjustments can be made to the teaching timetable and payment schedules.

Demonstrating for Units Other Than First Year

Casual teaching employees undertaking duties for units other than first year need to complete a Teaching Claim Form (also available form the 4^th floor Physics Office). Completed forms must be submitted to the Physics Office for processing.

Demonstrating for Experimental Physics PHYS3311

Casual teaching employees undertaking duties for unit PHYS3311 are required to complete a 3^rd Year Teaching Claim Form which must be submitted to the Physics Office for processing.

PHYS3311 Demonstrators can visit the following site for instructions http://internal.physics.uwa.edu.au/~hammond/Laboratory/

Online pay slips can be viewed via ESS (Employee Self Service) https://ora.his.admin.uwa.edu.au/pls/wss/wk8003$.startup
