National pay award

Staff will receive a slight increase in their salary payment from January.

The increase is the result of revised pay scales created by the result of the 2011-12 national pay negotiations.

£150 salary increase

These discussions, between the Universities & Colleges Employers’ Association and the higher education trade unions, concluded in a £150 increase on all pay points on the national pay spine.

Staff affected by this decision will receive a £150 annual salary increase (pro rata for part-time staff).

The pay increase will be applied to the salary of affected staff from January 2012.

January’s salary payment will also include backdating to August 2011.

Exemptions

This pay award does not affect clinical staff or the few small staff groups not covered by the national higher education pay agreements.

Revised pay scales can be found on the relevant web page on HR’s website.
