Below is the resolution procedure for Article 11 (Workload), with deadlines clearly indicated.
You may want to download the Flow Chart for Workload Resolution [PDF] for easy reference. This flow chart will explain the steps required to correct your workload problem speedily and efficiently.
If you don’t agree with any aspect of your assigned workload (as set out on your SWF), check the middle box and give it back to your chair within three days of receiving it. You should also forward a copy to the Union office. The chair has to forward your SWF to the CWMG within three days.
The CWMG must meet to address the issue within seven days. If the workload is resolved, you and the chair are both notified. The decision reached by the CWMG is only binding for the period of the SWF. If you have the same problem the following semester or following year, you have to start again.
If the CWMG fails to reach a resolution regarding your SWF, you and your chair will also be notified. It is then up to you to forward your SWF to Workload Resolution Arbitration (WRA) within seven days of your notice from the CWMG. You can also forward your SWF to WRA if the CWMG fails to act on your SWF for more than three weeks.
WRA will hold a hearing regarding your SWF within 2 weeks, then render an award within 10 working days of the hearing. Your award is binding for 1 year from the start of your SWF.
