TTR Calculations

Calculations based on the term range filtered. Different Start and End Term filtered can result in different total values.

• Total Study Leave Service Years - Provides a running count of the stakeholder's study leave service years gained from fulfilling teaching and research duties. Includes planned accumulation and usage for Study Leaves

• Total Course Releases - Course releases gained but not yet used

• Total Banked Courses - Courses being banked but not yet unbanked

• Total 1 in 9 - Non-teaching terms gained after fulfilling eight teaching/research terms (Teaching Faculty only)

Pattern Element

• States pattern element's name and abbreviation shown on drag and drop pattern elements in brackets

Start Term

• States the starting term of the pattern element

End Term

• States the ending term of the pattern element

Start Date

• In the cases where a pattern starts in the middle of the term, Start Date allows a more accurate input 

End Date

• In the cases where a pattern ends in the middle of the term, End Date allows a more accurate input 

Transaction Type

• Transaction type provides information on which part of the teaching workload, calculation, or pattern is being effected by this pattern element

• There are five transaction types:

  • Teaching Value - relates to teaching workload

  • Study Leave Value - relates to the study leave service year received by fulfilling teaching and researching obligation, and Total Study Leave Value* calculation

  • 1 in 9 Value - relates to 1 in 9 received by fulfilling teaching obligation, and Total 1 in 9* calculation

  • Course Release Value - relates to course releases received and used, and Total Course Releases* calculation

  • Transaction Value - relates to banked courses, and Total Banked Courses* calculation 

*These total values are displayed in the contact card. 

Balance Action

• Given: Adding to

• Taken: Subtracting from

For example, when you bank a course, the balance action is Given and adds to the total banked courses. When I un-bank the course, the balance action is Taken and subtracts from total banked courses. 

Transaction Value

• The value that is being Given or Taken

Process Status

• For patterns that links to a process (e.g. Study Leave application from request to approve), process status represents the current status of that process. In the future, it will tie to the actual process so that Process Status will change automatically with the process flow.

• Four process status options

  • Requested

  • Approved

  • Cancelled

  • Delayed

Leave Option

• Column only display in the Leaves tab 

• Leave Options selected will drive transaction value of the leaves to populate (according to Collective Agreement)

Part of Load

• Column only display in the Banked/Taught Courses tab

• Part of Load = 'Yes' means that the course assigned to the instructor will count towards the teaching workload

• Part of Load = 'No' means that the course assigned to the instructor will not count towards the teaching workload

• Part of Load = 'On Overload' means that the course assigned to the instructor is tied to an overload teaching contract 

Notes

• Provides context for future reference
