Facilities works in Physics

We have been informed by Facilities of the following works.

Emergency Lighting Testing in Physics Building will take place week commencing 24th July 2017 from 9am daily.
Every month there is a quick test to ensure all Emergency Lighting fittings are operational.  This involves a quick visual test.  In residences, this applies to corridors and kitchens.  There are longer, more involved tests at 6 month and 12 month intervals.  I will notify you should any of these be occurring.

Performance Development Reviews for 2016/2017

The 2016/17 Performance Development Review (PDR) cycle is drawing to a close. All Lancaster University staff employed for more than 12 months continuously, including those on fixed-term contracts, are expected to take part in the PDR process. Staff who are on probation do not need to have a PDR but new starters in support areas should have objectives set using an ‘Initial PDR form (for new starters)’.

For full information on PDR policy, guidance and PDR forms please visit http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/hr/pdr/ The PDR forms were updated quite recently so please ensure you use the current version from the webpage. The period of review will generally be from the beginning of August 2016 to the end of July 2017.

When forms are complete and signed by both reviewer and reviewee please could they be passed to me.
