“Casual staff are paid one hour per student for marking per semester. In reality, I routinely take at least double.”1 The hours ledger exists so that sentence stops being true.
Activity codes and rate cards seeded from published enterprise agreements, date-effective and editable, every rate labelled estimate, not payable. The allocation plan maps sessions to codes with associated-working-time multipliers, detects repeats within seven days, and estimates marking from words per hour or minutes per script with the tier recorded.2
Tutors enter actual hours per activity per week; the coordinator approves; the approver's identity is recorded. Additional hours are requested before the work, decided, and kept. Weekly caps and visa-hour warnings show as they approach.2
Allocated against actual, the variance per tutor and in total, a re-forecast after census, and a timesheet-ready export in the column shapes payroll systems accept. Payroll remains the system of record.4
Your timetable, your allocated marking, the rubric and the briefing notes on one page; the marking desk with the rubric in the margin; your own hours, and never anyone else's pay.
A time-boxed, pseudonymised view of the sample, the rubric and the distributions. Guests never see student identities, and their access ends on the date it was set to end.7
