Notice of Information on the Payment of Overtime Allowance

Dear Brothers/Sisters,

NOTICE OF INFORMATION ON THE PAYMENT OF OVERTIME ALLOWANCE.
The Executive Committee of Senior Staff Association, University of Cape Coast would like to bring to the attention of all members that the University Management has invited the Executive Committee of the Association to a meeting today Thursday, 16th May, 2019 at 3:00pm to continue the negotiation on the payment of overtime allowances to members of senior staff.
Previous Discussions with University Management
Per the meeting with University Management on 18th February, 2019 the house agreed that overtime allowance of about 400 senior staff should not prevent the payment of entire February salary of the University Staff, therefore, February salary should be paid without overtime allowance. Management agreed to communicate this development to members of staff.
After several engagement in writing with the University Management on the issue of payment of overtime allowance to senior staff, the Senior Staff Association, University of Cape Coast (SSAUCC) finally wrote a communique on the union’s position on the issue, requesting Management to meet the union by 23rd or 24th April, 2019 to resolve the impasse and that failure to do so would leave the union no option than to allow our members to withdraw their services effective 2nd May, 2019.
University Management Proposal to the Union Executives.
A meeting was held on 23rd April, 2019 at the Council Chamber at 1:00pm and Management proposed a call-in-allowance in place of the overtime allowance.
The Management asked the Executives of SSAUCC if they could pay the affected staff with the call-in-allowance but the Executives responded with the following that:
a. The call-in-allowance would be to the disadvantage of our members and cannot be applicable to the FWSC directives dated 19th March, 2019.

b. There’s the need to meet our constituent and all affected staff to discuss Management proposal and
c. In relation to point (b) Management should furnish the union with the call-in-allowance calculated figures.

We therefore entreat all members to channel their concerns on the overtime payment issues to be discussed at the meeting with Management to the secretariat or the secretary of the association on whatsapp number 0243917111 by 12:30pm today.
Please, the meeting with Management was officially communicated to us yesterday and we apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience caused.
Thank you.

Information For Fresh Students

Applicants who gain admission are expected to receive text messages on the phone number provided during completion of the online application form. In cases where the messages are not delivered because of mobile network problems and wrong phone numbers, applicants are advised to visit the admissions portal to check their admission status by clicking on the “Admission List” link on the home page using First Name and/or Surname. Applicants may also select a programme of study and go through the list of admitted students for their names. In all cases, applicants are reminded to click the search button.

Applicants who are not sure of the specific programme offered them are advised to use only names to check their status. Such persons may not find their names irrespective of whether they have been admitted or not.

Those who find their names are required to click the “print letter” button and provide the unique application reference number (e.g PS18/0001) which was generated during the application process to print the admission letter. Admitted students are also reminded to print the medical examination forms and proceed to pay the prescribed fees at the bank and undergo medical examination.

Applicants who have forgotten their application reference numbers should check the e-mail account for a copy of the application forms which have the reference numbers on them.

The Admissions Office may also be contacted for assistance in retrieving the number. Identity checks are usually conducted before the numbers are given.

Payment of Fees and Selection of Rooms

Admitted students should proceed to pay the provisional fees indicated in the admission letter before the deadline for payment of fees. Bank accounts and other bank details are indicated in the admission letters.

It should be noted that admission is an on-going process and that the University periodically updates the banks with new admission lists. There may therefore be occasions where applicants would not find their names at the bank. In such cases, applicants may not be able to pay fees until new lists are sent to the banks. We plead with students to bear with us in such cases.

Such persons are advised to wait for at least 24 hours after receiving the admission prompt before going to the bank to pay fees.

After payment of fees, admitted students are expected to receive text messages containing students’ registration number and password which should be used to create students’ portal accounts. Students should visit the student portal and log into the portal using the registration number and the password which should be kept safe and secure.

Students are requested to select their rooms and update personal details on the portal. Students are informed that the same portal accounts will be used to do course registration later.

In the event that text messages are not delivered student may contact the Students Records Section or the Admissions Office for assistance.

A student who receives a truncated message without a password could proceed to the portal, key in the registration number and reset the password. During password reset, students would be required to confirm the applicant’s phone number already in the university’s admission database. A new password will be sent immediately to the phone number which should be used to login.
