Pay & Conditions

The Vice-Chancellor has commissioned an independent report of the University’s pay and conditions for all University staff

During her admission speech in January 2023 the Vice-Chancellor, Irene Tracey, commissioned an independent analysis of all aspects of pay and conditions for University staff, and colleagues on joint appointments between the University and Colleges.

The purpose of the Pay & Conditions project is to conduct a comprehensive review of the total reward and benefits offer across all staff groups, and to report to the Vice-Chancellor and University Council on its findings and recommendations.

College-only staff are not within scope of this review, as Oxford Colleges are each independent employers within the collegiate University community.

Further information about the scope and key themes of this review can be found in the Project Charter and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
