Staff changes/status changes

Line managers are able to liase with their HR Business Partner's regarding any staff or status changes that will need to be actioned. Please submit all necessary information to your partner, who will be able to submit a status change form on your behalf.

We've provided you a number of examples of possible staff or status changes on this page.

Role changes, promotions, secondments, and salary increases

A staff or status change may include a change of role, responsibilties or salary. Once changes have been approved by HR and Finance, a status change form will be submitted by your HR Business Partner for action.

Flexible/hybrid working

Flexible working is the variation of working hours, times, patterns or location. It enables employees to work in ways that allow them to achieve a balance between work and other personal commitments, and enables the University to manage peaks and troughs in work. There are many different flexible working practices. Please see the flexible and hybrid working pages for different options that can be considered by the University.
