In their Notice of 29 September 2008 (Reporter, p. 4) the Council and General Board announced that they would, as soon as possible after the announcement of the Retail Price Index (RPI) for September, publish a further Notice and Grace in regard of salaries and stipends due to be increased under the 2006-09 national Pay Agreement for non-clinical staff. The RPI for September has now been announced as 5% and the Council is accordingly proposing an increase of 5% in all relevant stipends, associated payments, and salaries with effect from 1 October 2008. An updated Cambridge general stipend and salary scale showing the proposed new stipends and salaries for each grade is attached to this Notice. This indicates those points which are the 51 points of the national single spine and those points, above and below, which are extensions to the spine in Cambridge.
The stipends and salaries of certain University staff require the approval of the Regent House. The Council is submitting a Grace (Grace 1, p. 90) to the Regent House for the approval of an increase in these stipends and salaries resulting from the implementation of the national pay award from 1 October 2008. Subject to the approval of this Grace, the corresponding increases will be implemented in the stipends of those offices which do not require the approval of the University as well as in the salaries of analogous unestablished staff. In the case of contract research staff and other staff supported on non-central funds, payment of the increase will be conditional on funds being available to meet the cost of the increase from the relevant funding source.
It is expected that, if the Grace is approved, the increases will be paid to all staff in the November payroll together with the arrears from 1 October 2008.
For points 1-12, and 69-92 numbers are rounded to zero decimal places at each point and the calculation for the subsequent pay rise based on the rounded number. Other numbers are as per the UCEA published national single spine.
