Salary Scales

  • The majority of University staff are paid a salary on the University's main pay scale, split into seven main job family salary bands.  
  • The salary bands for Levels 1 to 6 are based on a nationally-agreed salary framework, as is the minimum point of the salary band for Level 7.
