Can hourly paid or part-time staff join UCU?
22 January 2007
Membership of UCU is not determined by the number of hours you work or the type of contract you have: many of our members work on a part-time or hourly-paid basis. We make allowances in our national subscription rates for any member whose salary is likely to be lower than their national full-time colleagues.
If you work at more than one institution the level of your UCU subscription is determined by adding together all the part-time income from different institutions.
When you join, we will need your work contact details at just one institution, which will generally be the one where you work most. This will determine the branch or local association to which you primarily belong.
Once you have joined UCU you need to tell us about your other employers in the sector. These can be added through your MyUCU record, in the Employment tab, under 'additional employments'. This will allow the union to support you in every workplace.
Please contact UCU's national membership department if you need further advice or information.
