Information about what to expect from the outcomes of the Pay & Conditions review, in 2024 and beyond
Last updated: 25 April 2024
What's next?
The findings and recommendations of the Pay & Conditions review are currently progressing through the University's standard governance channels. After time for initial review by Council members in February, they were discussed in the round for the first time at Council's away-day on 4 March. They were discussed further as part of University Council’s scheduled Week 1 meeting of Trinity term 2024, on 22 April.
During April, aspects have also been discussed with divisional leadership, the Conference of Colleges Steering Committee, University Committees (PRAC and Finance) and the Trade Unions, including where there are any financial implications to consider. There will be further discussions at People Committee on 2 May.
Council meets next on 13 May to discuss a plan of action in response to the review. If a plan is agreed, outcomes of the review and proposed next steps will be shared with all staff, shortly afterwards. This is now likely to be in the first week of June 2024, to fit around relevant communications deadlines and school half term at the end of May (when a significant number of colleagues are likely to be away), and to allow time for initial conversations with senior leadership beyond Council and any relevant heads of services, before outcomes are shared more widely.
Communications in June will include an all-staff email, an update in the University Bulletin, and further information on these webpages about what to expect.

April/early May 2024 – Discussion with divisional and college leadership, and through University committees; further discussion as part of the Week 1 Council meeting of Trinity term, on 22 April
