INFORMATION FOR MANAGERS

FLEXIBLE RECRUITMENT TOOLS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Many of us are supported by hourly paid student workers on campus and committed to giving students real work experience, whilst ensuring that they have the best opportunity to succeed in their studies.

For this reason, from 1 April 2016 students are allowed to work a maximum of 20 hours per week in term time. This will enable more students to take advantage of the variety of work on offer at the University, whilst achieving a work-study balance. Brunel University London has also enforced an 8-week rule where workers must submit their hours within an 8-week period before the timesheet is locked. This is to promote best practice for workers and students at Brunel and to ensure payment is dealt with in a timely manner.

The benefits of Talent Bank are that managers can approve/query a worker’s timesheets instantly and quickly via their mobile, tablet or desktop. The new system is flexible to allow the manager who is aware of the hours worked to be the first stage approver and those with budget control to be the second stage.

Data Protection, Acceptable Use, Privacy & Cookies

The following policies describe what personal information we collect, how we use it and importantly - how we protect it:

You acknowledge that Talent Bank for Brunel, at its sole discretion, may remove any material that breaches this Acceptable Use Policy, or in anyway we deem objectionable.

Data Protection and Confidentiality

I work with student records. Does this mean that I can’t employ a student?

Not necessarily. There are examples of students currently working with confidential student and staff data, although the decision on appropriateness will depend on the tasks required and the data involved. Students who are registered as casual workers are made aware of the Confidentiality policy of the College, and this can be restated at induction. Students who work for the College as temporary staff should be regarded as members of staff in the same way as anyone else, and expected to adhere to the same levels of professionalism.

Equality of Opportunity

How do I ensure equality of opportunity when using the system to recruit workers?

Students and Casual workers using the system to register for work are asked to provide the same basic details for managers to look at; adopting standard measures for treating candidates fairly, such as omitting personal details from any selection decisions is an important part of retaining impartiality. You can select workers on a first come first serve basis or by, for example, interviewing several students/workers who have expressed interest.

Are there any measures in place to safeguard the equality of opportunity of workers registering to work for Brunel?

The online recruitment system has in-built reporting capacity and recruitment data will be available to monitor equality and diversity trends. It is the responsibility of each manager to work in line with the College’s Equality and Diversity Statement and Policies.
