62. Outside Study Programme (OSP) - Transferability of Service

62.1 This clause applies to academic staff at the level of lecturer and above, whether full-time or fractional, but does not apply to staff who are employed on a casual or sessional basis or to staff whose salaries are paid from external funds which make no provision for outside study programmes or professional experience programmes (OSP/PEP).

62.2 When considering applications for OSP/PEP under its own rules, the University willrecognise prior continuous paid full-time service with other Australian higher education institutions as qualifying service, provided that if a staff member has taken a period of time on OSP/PEP, that period will be taken into account in the consideration of an application.

62.3 Eligibility for recognition of service with the releasing institution will be dependent upon continuity of employment between the releasing institutions and the University.

62.4 If there is not more than two months between the cessation of employment with the releasing institution and commencement with the University, continuity will be deemed not to have been broken, but the period between cessation and commencement will not be taken into account in determining length of service for the purposes of this clause.

62.5 Recognition of longer breaks in service will be dependent upon the rules and practices of the University.

62.6 Recognition of previous service other than as provided in this clause will continue to be a matter for the University to determine.

62.7 This clause is not intended to extend eligibility to apply for OSP/PEP to any staff member who is not, at the Operative Date, eligible to apply for such leave under the rules of the University, nor is it intended to remove eligibility to apply for OSP/PEP from any staff member who was eligible under the rules of the University at 25 May 2001.
