#General Issues

General issues regarding staff exchanges:

• Any exchange or placement agreement between the University and another organisation will identify the officer to whom the exchange or placement staff member will be responsible.
• If disciplinary action is required during the period of the exchange or placement, it will be initiated by the organisation to which the exchange or placement staff member is attached and administered in consultation with the employing organisation.
• Exchanges or placements would generally be arranged for periods between three and six months, depending on the circumstances, and can be terminated only if both parties agree.
• Reciprocal arrangements may be negotiated where requested in any particular case but reciprocity need not be simultaneous nor in the same employment field.
