UAW Forms and Documents

Under the UAW contract, Teaching Associates ("TAs") and Instructional Student Assistants ("ISAs") must receive written notice of appointment or reappointment as soon as practicable after the hiring decision. Pursuant to the contract, the notice must contain certain particularized information. In addition, the University must also provide TAs and ISAs with job descriptions setting forth the specific duties of the appointment as soon as practicable.

Below are TA and ISA Form Appointment Notices and Job Descriptions. They are primarily fill in the blank forms. However, both the TA and ISA Job Description forms have one drop-down field each. For instructions on what to put in each field, press F1 while you are in the respective field.

In addition, below are sample evaluation notice documents. Under the UAW Contract, Article 8, "[i]f an employment evaluation is to take place, the employing department . . . shall communicate, in writing, evaluation criteria, schedule and procedures for written employment evaluations, to employees . . . within the first fourteen (14) days of the appointment period." Accordingly, if you want to evaluate a particular ISA or TA or a group during appointment, you can only do so if you provide notice to the employee within 14 days of the employee's start of employment of your intention to do so and you provide the employee with the criteria, schedule, and procedures for the evaluation.

Finally, under the UAW contract, "[t]he University shall create and maintain a central website . . . and shall post information on it regarding open hire bargaining unit employee positions when these positions become available." In addition, the contract prescribes the contents of each posting. Accordingly, below is a form of Job Posting for TA and ISA positions. TA and ISA jobs should be posted on the hiring department website. HR serves as the central website to access the posting through links to Departments.

All Unit 11 employees (TAs, GAs, and ISAs) are required to sign the Oath of Allegiance. 

Please note Courts have found that the oath does not require a person to bear arms or engage in violence, and a pacifist may take the oath.
