Salaries
As part of Pay Modernisation, within the national pay framework, Northumbria University developed an innovative pay structure of:-
Eight shorter grades with larger incremental increases, of around 4%,
than the national pay spine - which means there is quicker progression
to the top of the scale. (Grade 9 falls outside of the national pay
framework).
-
All increments relate to service - they are not performance related,
(although there is an additional increment at the top of Grade 8, which
is payable subject to confirmation of satisfactory performance).
-
No single point salaries, meaning all staff can progress up the pay
scale.
- We guarantee to implement national cost of living increases and the salary structure will always be equal to or better than any revisions in the national pay spine.
