UCL to increase staff salaries following national pay negotiations
The offer reflects a rise of between 2.5 per cent and 5.7 per cent to the pay scale
Eleanor DominUCL staff have been given a pay rise following national pay negotiations.
The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) has been negotiating on behalf of universities nationwide, with the initial negotiation process concluding on the 3rd July 2024, in relation to the national pay uplift for 2024/25 and have reached an agreement with the recognised trade unions.
This increase was paid into salary payments in September and it was backdated to 1st August 2024.
The offer reflects a rise of between 2.5 per cent and 5.7 per cent to the pay scale, with the first apportionment (£900) paid in August 2024, and the rest in March 2025.
UCL operates a salary grading system for non-clinical staff with jobs being assigned to a specific grade and salary.
UCEA has outlined that the offer has a cost of 2.5 per cent on the sector pay bill in the 2024/25 academic year, with an ongoing cost of 3 per cent from 2025/26 onwards. This offer is said to be the most of what the sector can afford.
The offer has been structured to deliver larger percentage rises to the lower half of the pay scale. For example, employees earning up to £38,205 per annum basic salary will receive an increase of three per cent.
UCL have also increased the UCL London allowances by 2.5 per cent from 1st August 2024. This means that in total, all non-clinical staff received an increase of just over £1,000 from this date.
In addition to the national pay award, UCL have given 67 per cent of all non-clinical staff an automatic increment, adding three per cent to their base salaries. This movement was in addition to the staff improvements announced last year as part of the multi-year £110.2m investment in staff rewards.
