This month, the University will be implementing a one per cent pay uplift for staff, backdated to 1 August 2013. This uplift is on the basis of advice from the Universities & Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) who represent HEIs in national negotiations with trade unions, government bodies, funding councils and other stakeholders.
As staff members have been waiting some time to receive the pay award, the uplift is being implemented in advance of an agreement and in time for Christmas.
