Update in relation to upcoming calls for Progression
14 Sep 2011
The prohibition on the progression of academic staff at lecturer level across the merit bar has been lifted by the Higher Education Authority [HEA]. The HEA has advised that progression from the highest point below the bar to the first point above the bar is now permissible subject to the performance criteria specified in the relevant scheme.
As a result, a restricted call for applications to Progress Across the Merit Bar for the 2011/12 Session will now invited from eligible candidates i.e. all staff at lecturer level who meet the criteria outlined in the Scheme and in addition have reached or will reach the maximum point of the Lecturer Below the Bar Scale on or before the closing date of Friday, 4th November 2011. Provisions of the scheme with regard to accelerated progression will not apply as the HEA approval to progress applications applies only to those lecturer staff at the highest point below the Bar and accelerated progression is not permitted. Progression if approved will be to the first point above the Bar only. Please note these restrictions when considering the contents of the Policy which can be found at http://www.ucc.ie/en/hr/progression/academic/merit-bar/
