Workload Allocation
Dear University of Edinburgh,
I'd like to make a Freedom of Information request regarding workload allocation models (WAM) in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences to allocate workload to your staff.
Ideally I'd like a copy of all the WAMs and tariffs (i.e. how much time is allocated per activity) used and the school/section they belong to. If incomplete/unavailable, please give me as much information as possible on the tariffs that are available (and the schools they belong to) and on which schools or units don't use tariffs to allocate workload.
Yours faithfully,
Nikolay Ogryzko
Dear Mr Ogryzko,
Thank you for your email of 16/10/18 requesting information about workload allocation models.
I am writing to let you know that we have received your request and will process it as soon as reasonably possible, and hope to reply by 13/11/18. However, we are currently experiencing an exceptionally high volume of requests and staff shortages. We will do our utmost to respond within 20 working days but wanted to alert you to the potential that this may not be possible.
The University of Edinburgh's privacy notice, which describes how we use the information you have supplied about yourself and your request, is available on-line at https://www.ed.ac.uk/records-management/....
Yours sincerely
Claire Friend

Dear University of Edinburgh,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of University of Edinburgh's handling of my FOI request 'Workload Allocation' on the 16th October.
The response is substantially behind schedule, even considering the institution's response.
Yours faithfully,
Nikolay Ogryzko
