The COUNCIL and the GENERAL BOARD beg leave to report to the University as follows:
1. In their Notice on University stipends dated 5 July 1999 (Reporter, p. 818) the Council announced that, following the offer by the Universities and Colleges Employers Association of a 3.5 per cent across-the-board increase in the salaries of non-clinical academic and academic-related staff, and pending the outcome of further discussions at national level, they had agreed to propose an increase of 3.5 per cent on account in all relevant stipends and associated payments with effect from 1 April 1999. This proposal, which was approved by Grace 1 of 7 July 1999, was subject to the outcome of the national negotiations; these have not yet been completed, and the resulting increase is therefore an interim increase. Corresponding increases have been approved, by the Council or the General Board as appropriate, in those stipends that do not require the approval of the University. The effect of these increases on the general scale of stipends for University offices, and on certain other stipends and payments, is shown in the Annex to the present Report; the opportunity has been taken to include a number of changes resulting from the approval (by Graces 7, 8, and 10 of 25 November 1998) of proposals put forward by the General Board in their Report, dated 3 June 1998, on the recruitment, reward, and retention of academic and academic-related officers (Reporter, 1997-98, p. 804).
2. These increases in stipends entail consequential changes in the provisions relating to deductions on account of College emoluments and in the maximum level of payments for administrative work; these changes are set out in paragraphs 3 and 4 below. In addition to increases in stipends, certain other payments have also been increased, as detailed in paragraphs 5 and 6.
3. Deductions on account of College emoluments
The increase in the maximum of the scale of stipends for University Lecturers has resulted in an increase to £6,400 from 1 April 1999 in the maximum emoluments that an officer may receive from a College without attracting deductions from his or her University stipend.
4. Payments additional to stipend
In accordance with Regulation 5 of the regulations for payments additional to stipend (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 641), the maximum annual rate of non-pensionable payment that may be made to any person on account of administrative work on behalf of a Faculty or Department has also been increased to £6,400 from 1 April 1999.
5. Discretionary payments to University officers
The annual rate of the pensionable discretionary awards to University officers in non-professorial grades has been increased to £1,867 from 1 April 1999.
6. Supplementary payments to Professors
As a result of the new arrangements approved by Grace 8 of 25 November 1998, there are now four rates of pensionable supplementary payments to Professors; these have been increased to £5,766, £11,533, £17,299, and £23,509 from 1 April 1999.
7. Stipends determined by the Council or the General Board
The opportunity has been taken to update the Schedules of stipends and scales of stipends which are determined by the Council or the General Board (Schedules II and III, Statutes and Ordinances, pp. 636 and 638) by including adjustments which have been made to the stipends and scales of stipends of certain offices; these are the offices of Research Officer in the Department of Applied Economics and Librarian of the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages.
8. Possible further adjustments
As noted in paragraph 1 above, the national negotiations on salary increases in 1999 have not yet been completed, and the present increase of 3.5 per cent is therefore an interim increase. It may be necessary to make further adjustments in Cambridge stipends in the light of any final settlement.
