The form of words that you use in the form to register the grievance against a manager that has told you to take on a workload above the agreed 1548 hours per year might be:

I am raising a formal grievance against XXXX because he/she has issued me with an unreasonable management instruction. Specifically he/she has told me that I must teach an additional YYYY hours to ZZZZ students which is over and above my agreed workload for the current academic year and in excess of the agreed AWAM maximum workload. My current workload calculated using the AWAM, which is the agreed method within the University for calculating workloads, indicates a current total of GGGG hours for the academic year, which is already in excess of the 1548 full-time level. A resolution to my grievance requires XXXX to withdraw the instruction for the additional teaching and to revert to my existing and agreed workload for the current academic year.
