Annual salary review
The annual salary review is an opportunity to recognise and reward employees for exceptional performance. The process is currently paused as part of the University’s financial sustainability plan.
Applying for additional salary or bonus
Staff can apply, or be put forward by their manager, for either additional salary (subject to eligibility) or a discretionary one-off bonus. The annual review cycle takes place in the spring and early summer each year. A review of salaries for the University’s senior leadership (Vice-Chancellor and Registrar and Secretary, members of USG), University Office Holders (e.g. Heads of Department, Deputy Deans), Heads of Section and other Grade 11 staff in Professional Services Sections occurs later in the year in November.
The University follows the Senior Staff Remuneration Code published by the Chairs of University Councils for the review of senior pay.
Timetable
Subject to affordability, a timetable for 2025 will be published here.
