The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) has confirmed that implementation of the pay settlement effective from 1 August 2016 may proceed. This has been approved by the University and the Notice and Grace can be viewed in Reporter. The updated pay scale can be found on the salary scales webpage.

The award provides for a 1.1% increase in the salaries of non-clinical staff on all spine points, except spine points 11 to 19 where the increases will be as follows:

Points 11 to 14:             3.1% increase

Points 15 and 16:          2.7% increase

Point 17:                       2.2% increase

Point 18:                       1.7% increase

Point 19:                       1.6% increase

The settlement also provides for the removal of the lowest point on the New Joint Negotiating Committee for Higher Education Staff (New JNCHES) single pay spine. Accordingly point 13 will be removed from grade 1 from 1 August 2016.

It should be noted that the New JNCHES trade unions remain in dispute over the offer. However, the Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) has confirmed that the formal dispute resolution procedure set out in the New JNCHES agreement has been exhausted and has therefore advised that implementation of the pay settlement may proceed.

 

The increases are due to be paid to staff in the November 2016 payroll, with arrears backdated to 1 August 2016.

 

Further details about the pay award process can be found on the Annual Pay Review webpage.
