Appendix A7.6
Salary bands and calculation of salary increase
1. Overview
Acting as a consortium of employers, BBSRC, AHRC, EPSRC, ESRC and STFC agreed a three year pay remit with Treasury covering the period 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2010. For the period covering 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011 a pay award has been agreed covering employees in bands A to G; employees in higher bands (PC1 and PC2) are on personal contracts. For this pay award the pay scales will remain the same as in the previous year and staff earning below the Government limit of £21k will be eligible for a consolidated increase of at least £250.
There are 3 levels of performance (commensurate, exceptional and unacceptable) and these levels of performance link directly to set increases (see appendix A7.3 for full details on performance based pay).
The salary bands and progression steps (effective from 1 July 2010) are in the tables below.
