The University implements changes to the national pay spine agreed in the Joint National Council for Higher Education Staff, except where modified by local agreement in accordance with the Implementation of the Framework Agreement at the University of Exeter (agreed July 2006) and the local agreement on the implementation of the Living Wage.
Salary payments are made in arrears in equal instalments on the last working day of each calendar month by credit transfer direct to the employee’s bank/building society account.
From each salary payment deductions are made for pension, national insurance contributions and income tax as appropriate. Arrangements may be made on request for the deduction of certain contributions (eg trade union subscriptions).
Term-time staff have their pay including holiday pay averaged over twelve months.
The salaries of Professors are reviewed biennially by the University.
Subject to satisfactory performance, and subject to a minimum of six months’ service in the grade, increments are payable on 1 August each year until the top progression point of the grade is reached.
The University may pay contribution points to employees who have reached the top progression point of the grade in accordance with arrangements agreed with recognised trade unions.
Staff in Grades B to D will be compensated for overtime work (including overtime worked on Saturdays, Sundays, Bank Holidays and Closure Days), which is approved in advance by the appropriate manager, by the equivalent period of time-off-in-lieu (to be taken by agreement of management) or, where time-off-in-lieu cannot be granted, by payment at:
plain time for hours worked up to 36.5 in that week
time-and-a-half rate for hours worked over 36.5 in that week.
There is no entitlement to overtime pay for staff in grade E, except where there is an ongoing, regular need for out-of-hours working to meet essential operational requirements which can only be undertaken outside of normal working hours and which is approved in advance by the appropriate manager following consultation with Human Resources (for example animal feeding).
There is no entitlement to overtime pay for staff in grades F and above.
The University may pay additional allowances (detailed in Appendix A) to Professional Services Staff whose appointments meet the appropriate qualifying criteria.
Backdated salary awards: Members of staff who are leaving or who have left the employment of the University should ensure that Human Resources is advised of their current address and bank details. Where former staff are aware that a backdated general increase has been reached a claim for the arrears should be submitted to Human Resources within 12 months of the date of the agreement.
