Members of staff will notice a change in the pay they receive from September.
The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) has proposed a pay settlement which provides for a 1.8% increase to the stipends and salaries of non-clinical staff on all spine points, except spine points 11 to 28 where the increases will be as follows:
| Points 11 to 15 | 3.65% increase |
| Point 16 | 3.56% increase |
| Point 17 | 3.55% increase |
| Point 18 | 3.53% increase |
| Point 19 | 3.45% increase |
| Point 20 | 3.33% increase |
| Point 21 | 2.86% increase |
| Point 22 | 2.38% increase |
| Point 23 | 2.14% increase |
| Point 24 | 2.03% increase |
| Point 25 | 1.97% increase |
| Point 26 | 1.92% increase |
| Point 27 | 1.87% increase |
| Point 28 | 1.82% increase |
| Points 29 and above | 1.80% increase |
While the University recognises that the trades unions remain in dispute over the offer, it feels it is important to implement this settlement as soon as possible to ensure staff receive the increase without further delay. The pay increases will therefore be paid to staff in the September 2019 payroll backdated to 1 August 2019.
