Establishment of Deliverables
POLICY Several paragraphs in the Agreement to Establish the Southeastern Ontario Academic Organization, the constitutional document of SEAMO speak to the right of SEAMO to establish the objectives and deliverables of the individual departments. In founding SEAMO, the departments were not given the right to unilaterally define their deliverables. Deliverables were seen to be SEAMO deliverables to which departments contribute. The following has been excerpted from the SEAMO Agreement:
6. SEAMO Governance will be at both central and subsidiary departmental levels. As much responsibility as possible will be delegated from the central governance to the departments.
7. The central governance will establish long range policies, and ensure that the policies and procedures of individual departments are consistent with those of SEAMO.
10. The development of the staffing strategy for SEAMO – which in turn is the staffing strategy for the clinical departments of the School of Medicine and the hospitals – will include policy development related to the following considerations:
10.1 numbers and types of individuals necessary to meet the clinical service, education and research needs of a particular unit and of SEAMO as a whole;
10.2 allocation of resources related to staffing;
10.3 job descriptions and performance appraisal;
10.4 the marketplace determination as the basis for compensation;
10.5 systems of compensation including development of incentives and/or rewards; and,
10.6 other related issues.
20. Departments are accountable to the central governance for contributing to the mission of SEAMO in education research, clinical service and departmental/faculty/hospital administration.
