Salary Scales
The University's salary scales include annual, weekly and hourly rates, Clinical Scales and on-cost information.
Salary Determination Guidance
Guidance on salary determination for internal appointments (including transfers and promotions), external appointments, and for Research and Clinical appointments can be found under the Recruitment Guidance. Further details on Recruitment Incentives including removal costs, recruitment incentive payments and the equity share scheme is also provided
Annual Pay Review
The annual pay review implementation date for all staff is 1 August. Once the settlement has been approved by the University it is implemented and backdated to 1 August of the relevant year and the salary scales are updated.
Equal Pay Reviews
The University gathers Equal Pay data annually and publishes an Equal Pay Report biennially. The Report analyses pay data to identify and explain any gender-related pay differences and outlines progress made towards addressing these.
Market Pay
The grade of an office or post is determined prior to advertisement using the Higher Education Role Analysis scheme.
Where evidence indicates that similar posts outside the University command a higher salary than that determined by role analysis, it may be appropriate to request a Market Pay (MP) award in order to secure the recruitment or retention of an individual. MP is aimed at assistant and academic-related posts where a particular specialist skill or a market premia exists.
Please refer to the Market Pay guidance document for further information. For further advice please contact your Lead HR Business Partner or HR Business Partner.
If you are considering offering a Market Pay award as part of a recruitment package please refer to the information available on the Recruitment webpages.
Advanced Contribution Supplement
In view of the difficulties experienced in defining the ‘market’ in relation to academic posts, where justified, an Advanced Contribution Supplement (ACS) may be awarded as the primary means of supplementing the salary of an academic member of staff for retention or recruitment purposes. An ACS is awarded on the expectation that an individual will reach a certain level of achievement (normally no more than five years ahead).
ACS payments can be awarded to employees on any Academic contract (i.e. those on both Research & Teaching and Teaching & Scholarship contracts).
Please refer to the Advanced Contribution Supplement guidance document for further information. For further advice please contact your Lead HR Business Partner or HR Business Partner.
