Most University staff are paid a salary which is based on a nationally-agreed scale.
The scale is split into six main levels and provides the starting point for a seventh level.
The levels are divided into a progression range, from the minimum to the maximum point and an advancement range, for progression above the maximum point to the supermaximum point of the level.
Salaries are paid monthly on the penultimate working day of the month - see Pay Dates and Deadlines
