AGSEM has reached an agreement with McGill Human Resources to help facilitate teaching support for several courses in Nursing. This agreement addresses the possibility that a Teaching Assistant who is performing in-person work may fall sick or have to self-isolate due to COVID-19. While the TA collective agreement is clear that when someone is hired to work as a TA, they are hired to a specific course, one TA hired by the Ingram School of Nursing for the Fall 2020 semester and Winter 2021 semester can be assigned to tasks for multiple courses to be able to fill in for work as needed.

AGSEM has signed a Letter of Agreement with McGill authorising departments to start some Fall 2020 TA appointments over the summer, as early as June 28. This is to meet the needs expressed by some departments to have TA support for preparing online teaching materials and course development prior to the beginning of the semester, while maintaining continuity by having the same TA.

Taking into account the delays with hiring due to McGill’s transfer to the Workday Human Resources system from Minerva and to allow for departments to prepare for a mostly remote Winter 2021 semester, AGSEM has reached an agreement with McGill to help facilitate TA hiring for Winter 2021. This will give departments 15 more days to post their TA positions, but reduces the application and hiring periods by a few days. The application period will be from November 2–20. TAs should still receive their notifications of appointment by December 15.
