We are pleased to announce the launch of a new operating system for making use of Academic Work Resources with effect from 1st January 2008. The fund is going to be operated through the use of a debit card, thus making such funds easily accessible to all eligible members of staff. Members of staff will be provided with a Bank of Valletta Visa Debit card. Whilst the debit card will remain the property of the University of Malta, each individual will have a specific bank account designated to him/her. The annual work resource allocation will be deposited in the debit card bank account in the first week of January 2008. Members of staff can make use of this debit card both locally and abroad, including purchasing over the Internet. In view of the above, the Academic Work Resources Policy and Procedure Guidelines have been updated. Click here to view the Policies and Procedure Guidelines. Members of staff are encouraged to familiarise themselves with this document in particular Section 8, the ‘Conditions of Participation’ since strict adherence to these policies is mandatory. To apply for the debit card, kindly fill the application form and call personally at the AWRF Office Monday to Friday between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., and between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. A photocopy of the front and back of the ID card is required for bank purposes. Please provide the copy of the ID card at the AWRF Office together with your application form. The Committee would like to bring to your attention that the system of reimbursements is no longer available as from 1st January 2008. Therefore, the only mechanism available for making use of such funds will be through the application of the debit card. Any purchases done before the availability of the card can be withdrawn as cash from the ATMs. It is expected that the Bank will provide the card to the AWRF Office within three weeks from the date of application. The AWRF Office will contact members of staff individually to collect the debit cards when these are made available by the bank. For further information or any clarifications, please, contact the AWRF Office on (2340) 3170 or email awrf@um.edu.mt. For details and price lists for computers click here. Please note that the guidelines, forms and the details about computers are available on the intranet and therefore the IT Services user name and password are needed to login to access the documents.
