Incremental progression
Increment due dates
There is a set incremental date for each grade. A full summary of increment due dates by grade and scale point is here.
Eligibility for automatic incremental progression
Provided that they have been in post (in Core terms, in an appointment) for at least three months prior to the incremental date, staff should receive an annual increment within their scale, and thereafter annually until they reach the maximum point of the service scale for the grade of their post, i.e. an employee appointed to an academic-related post on 1 July would have their first automatic increment on 1 October of the same year, but an employee appointed to an academic-related post on 1 August would have their first automatic increment on 1 October of the following year.
There is no automatic incremental progression into or within the discretionary range.
Regrading
On regrading to a higher grade, or transfer to a higher graded post, staff should normally receive the benefit of at least one additional increment above their previous salary.
Members of staff will need to have occupied the higher graded post for at least three months prior to the incremental date for the grade in order to receive an annual automatic increment.
Incremental dates
1 August for support staff (grades 1-5)
1 October for academic-related staff in grades 6-10
