Staff, whose various roles add up to 1 FTE (full time equivalent) or more, will need to pay the full time permit price. If it is less than 1 FTE the 50% part time discount will apply.

Staff, whose various roles are paid at different pay Grades, will pay the price for the Grade which takes up the greatest FTE. If a member of staff has two roles at the same FTE, the lower grade will be used to calculate the permit price. For example two part time roles at the university that are both 0.4 FTE, one at Grade 3 and one at Grade 4; the staff member will pay the rate for Grade 3.
