University Salaries and Stipends: Notice

29 September 2008

In their Notice of 31 July 2006 (Reporter, 2005-06, p. 925) the Council and the General Board announced increases in all relevant stipends, associated payments, and salaries resulting from the implementation of the 2006-09 Pay Agreement for non-clinical staff covered by national agreements in universities. The Notice covered the period from 1 August 2006 to 30 September 2008; it did not include a final staged increase of the greater of 2.5% or the Retail Price Index (based on September 2008) payable from 1 October 2008 which was part of the Pay Agreement as the Council and the Board stated they would publish a further Notice and Grace in regard of stipends and salaries from that date when the final figures were decided.

It is expected that the Retail Price Index figure for September will be known on or about 14 October 2008 and a Notice and Grace giving details of the increase will be published as soon as possible after that date. It will not therefore be possible to process the award for staff so that they receive the increase in their salary in October. The increase will be implemented, with full back pay to 1 October, in the November salary of all affected staff.
