The Vice-Chancellor sent an email to all University staff on Tuesday 25 June, announcing the plan of action approved by Council on 13 May in response to the Pay & Conditions review. The plan represents a commitment of £129 million over the next five years to action across pay and non-pay benefits, to help transform the culture of how we invest in people.
This email included a short video message about key outcomes and what they mean for the University and linked to further information on these webpages. A transcript of the video message can also be found on the Staff Gateway.
The Pay & Conditions webpages have been updated to coincide with the Vice-Chancellor's email, including information on the Pay & Conditions homepage about action to be taken across pay and reward, fixed-term contracts, support for international staff, housing and transport, leave, work-life balance, health and wellbeing, childcare support, personal and professional development, and supporting infrastructure and systems.
All colleagues are also invited to join a Pay & Conditions webinar on 11 July from 11.30am to 12.45pm on Microsoft Teams Live, with an opportunity to submit any questions in advance or during the event. Key themes arising will be reflected in the Frequently asked questions (FAQs) section of these webpages (SSO login required). An invitation email will follow later this week from the Events Office, with a link to register.
For reference, a version of the Pay & Conditions Report submitted to Council by the Pay & Conditions Steering Committee in February 2024, from which sensitive and/or licensed data has been removed, can also be found via the Quick Links on the Pay & Conditions homepage (SSO staff login required).
