Salary administration
Oxford University operates a main salary and grading structure based on a National Pay Spine (the current pay spine may be downloaded from Related Links).
Salaries are uplifted in line with national agreements on an annual basis (the 'cost of living allowance' or COLA), normally in August, or April for clinical grades.
Outwith the main salary and grading structure the University operates grades for the employment of clinical academic and related staff, Readers, Professors, and senior managerial and research staff. information on these grades can be found on the Salaries web pages.
This section provides guidance for managers about the administration of salaries including:
- Setting appropriate starting salaries
- Arrangements concerning externally-funded staff
- Information about incremental progression
- Overtime
- Discretionary pay arrangements, including retention payments
- [Please note: the Merit Pay Scheme is currently suspended]
