Statistical information about staff grades, additional payments, and market supplements: Notice

12 January 2009

Grace 9 associated with the Second Joint Report of the Council and the General Board on new pay and grading arrangements for non-clinical staff (Reporter, 2004-05, p. 745) provides for the Council to publish at least annually (i) anonymized statistical information about the number of non-clinical staff on each step of the single spine, for the institution as a whole and by School (or equivalent), according to staff category, grade, and gender; and (ii) anonymized information by School (or equivalent), according to staff category, grade, and gender, of additional payments made under the regulations for payments additional to stipend, but excluding payments for clinical responsibility.

Accordingly the Council now publishes information for 2007-08 showing in the tables below the payments that have been made.

(i) Non-clinical staff on each step of the single spine

Tables 1-9 show the number of non-clinical staff on each step of the single spine by grade and gender for (a) academic staff including research staff and (b) academic-related and assistant staff. Table 1 shows the data for the institution as a whole; Tables 2-9 show the data by School (or equivalent). In each table contribution points on the single spine are shaded.

(ii) Payments additional to stipend

Table 10 shows (a) pensionable and (b) non-pensionable payments made under the regulations for payments additional to stipend for each School (or equivalent) according to staff category (academic and non-academic) and by grade and gender.

Professorial contribution payment data for 2007 have been published separately in the Reporter (Reporter, 2007-08, p. 714).

Market supplements

Under the arrangements introduced by the Second Joint Report of the Council and the General Board on new pay and grading arrangements for non-clinical staff (Reporter, 2004-05, p. 745), market supplements may be made to secure the recruitment or retention of an individual member of staff.

Grace 7 associated with the Second Joint Report provides for the Council to publish anonymized statistical information on all awards of market supplements at least annually by staff category, grade, gender, and School (or equivalent).

Accordingly, the Council publishes below information for 2007-08 on the market supplements that have been made. Table 11(a) shows the total number of staff in receipt of market supplements; Table 11(b) shows the number of awards made since 1 October 2007.

In order to improve scrutiny, accountability, and transparency in the award of market supplements the Council has established a Remuneration Committee (Reporter, 2007-08, p. 282) which considers, as part of its remit, the determination of market supplements over 10% for professorial and equivalent staff.
