Measures of the Faculty of Law of Masaryk University No. 7/2020
Rules for Determination of Performance Rewards for
Academic Staff of the Faculty of Law of Masaryk University
(as amended with effect from 19 February 2024)
Pursuant to Section 28(1) of Act No. 111/1998 Coll., on Higher Education Institutions and
on Amendments and Additions to Other Acts (the Higher Education Act), as amended
(hereinafter referred to as the "Higher Education Act"), I issue the following measure
(hereinafter referred to as the "Measure"):
I.
General provisions
(1) Taking into account the fulfilment of interim economic indicators of the economic centre,
funds may be made available during the relevant calendar year for the payment of
performance awards to academic staff for results in the field of teaching, science, research
and other activities. The remuneration shall normally be paid twice a year in accordance
with the schedule of performance awards (see Annex 1).
(2) The dean may withhold, reduce, or not pay a performance award to an employee if:
(a) the employee's behaviour violates his/her employment obligations or the obligations set
out in the MU Code of Ethics for Academic and Professional Staff,
(b) complaints about the work or conduct of an academic staff member are found by the
responsible manager to be justified; or
(c) in cases of conduct by an academic staff member that is contrary to the legitimate
interests of the faculty, particularly in relation to commercial teaching carried out for entities
that are in competition with the faculty.
(3) The distribution of the amount of funds to individual departments and the timetable for
processing rewards shall be determined by the Dean in the form of an annex to this
measure. The distribution of funds to individual departments is based on data in the
workload system according to Masaryk University Faculty of Law Measure No.5/2020
Determination of Criteria for Performance Evaluation of Academic Staff (Workload) and on
information on their publication activities from the MU Information System for the relevant
period.
(4) For the purposes of this measure, the relevant period is the completed semester.
2/16
II.
Conditions for awarding a performance award
(1) In accordance with Article 8(2)(a) of the Internal Wage Regulation of Masaryk University
of 31 May 2018, performance remuneration may be awarded in particular for one-off or
recurrent but time-limited performance of a specific activity, for successful performance of
tasks performed beyond the scope of normal work duties, for performance of tasks of high
quality, for demanding work and activities performed in the course of grants, research tasks
and projects, for work contribution to the improvement of economic results, and for
performance of work in the place of an absent colleague.
(2) The performance award is granted separately for (a) research and development and (b)
teaching and curriculum development. The amount of remuneration for a particular
academic staff member shall be decided by the Dean on the basis of a proposal from the
head of the department where the staff member is tribally assigned.
(3) In the event that an academic staff member participates in teaching courses that are
taught in a department other than his/her home department (interdepartmental teaching),
a proportionate part of the performance fee for teaching in the given course is determined
by agreement of the heads of the respective departments.
(4) The basis for the allocation of performance awards to individual academic staff members
is primarily the data contained in the overview of the staff member's academic activities,
information on their publication activities from the MU Information System and, in support,
information contained in the workload system for the relevant period.
III.
Procedure for awarding performance awards
(1) The amount of performance remuneration at a given department, divided into a part
intended for (a) research and development and (b) teaching and curriculum development,
shall be proposed by the head of the department to the dean, taking into account Article
II(1).
(2) The head of the department, after evaluating the performance of individual academic
staff in the relevant period, shall propose in writing to the dean their share of the amount
to be received by the relevant department or institute in the relevant period. The proposal
shall be submitted via a form or application on the faculty intranet.
(3) Performance bonuses for heads of departments and vice-deans are allocated by the
dean taking into account Article II, paragraph 1.
(4) Performance bonuses are paid on the payroll date immediately after their approval by
the Dean.
IV.
Transitional and final provisions
3/16
(1) I entrust the Secretary of the Faculty with the control of compliance with this measure
and any updates.
(2) I hereby delegate the interpretation of the individual provisions of this measure to the
Vice-Dean for Strategy and Faculty Development.
(3) In 2020, the first assessment period is the 2019 fall semester.
(4) The timetable for the distribution and payment of awards in 2020 will be set out in a
separate instruction from the Secretary.
(5) For the critical period of the semesters autumn 2019, spring 2020 and autumn 2020,
the data for teaching and curriculum development shall be used according to Instruction
No. 4/2016. The data for research and development shall be used for the same periods
according to the scoring system attached as Annex 2 to this measure.
(6) This text replaces the text of 7 February 2023.
(7) This text shall enter into force on 19 February 2024.

Annex No. 3: Determination of scores for research and research results for the
years 2022 - 2020 for the purpose of distribution of funds for performance awards
to departments/institutes for the period spring 2023 and autumn 2023
The 9 highest scoring results over 3 years (2022 to 2020) will count towards the
assessment.
In the case of co-authored results, the size of the co-authors' shares is determined by the
guarantor of the result, both in relation to domestic authors and in relation to authors
outside the MU Faculty of Law. For example, if the result is a result for which the guarantor
is from MU, there is also a PhD student and two co-authors are outside MU, the guarantor
of the result determines the shares as follows (40%, 10%, 30%, 20%). The respective
department/institute is credited with the result in the ratio of 40% (guarantor of the result)
and 10% (PhD student).
In case the journal is in both WoS and Scopus, the higher point value is recognized for the
output.
The results of doctoral students are counted to the department where the doctoral student
is working. The results are always reported by the respective doctoral student who is
studying in the doctoral programme. For doctoral students who have completed their studies
at the end of the data collection period, the results are entered for the relevant
department/institute by the doctoral student who is authorised to do so by the head of the
department/institute. Similarly, this applies to academic staff who have terminated their
employment at MU at the end of the data collection (for them, the results are entered by
the academic staff member authorised by the head of the department).
For type J results, the value of the relevant quartile from the Scimago Journal & Country
Rank (https://www.scimagojr.com) is taken, with the quartile based on the year of
application of the result being decisive.
