A UK university is withholding weekend pay of academics who are taking part in the ongoing marking and assessment boycott.
Members of the University and College Union (UCU) are currently refusing to grade assignments and exams as part of a long-running dispute over pay with employers.
Members of the Sheffield Hallam University UCU branch asked their institution for clarification if pay deductions for participating in the strike included weekends, as well as weekdays.
They were told that 100 per cent of their daily pay – based on 1/365th of their annual salary – will be withheld for the entirety of the duration they take part.
