Background and context
Following an agreement between trade unions and higher education employers to modernise pay arrangements in the sector, known as the National Framework Agreement, in 2006 the University implemented a new pay and grading structure. The new structure replaced a complex system of numerous different pay and grading systems with a single pay and grading structure underpinned by HERA.
Information on the implementation of the pay and grading structure, including details of how old grades mapped to the new structure, can be found in the booklets for Academic-related, support and Whitley Council staff which are downloadable from Documents.
