Payment

One twelfth of your annual salary plus allowances will be paid monthly normally on the last working day of each month. All payments will be made by direct transfer to the bank or building society account of your choice. If your bank details change, it is your responsibility to notify payroll of the change. Notify payroll of the change by completing the change of bank details form. We require an original signature to process this form. Any overpayment of salary is recoverable. It is your responsibility to check each payslip received and inform the payroll section of any suspected error. Employees are able to access an electronic version of their payslips online. There are a number of benefits to the employee as a result of the online payslip facility. From a web browser, the employee can access both current and historical payslips online at work or in the comfort of their own home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition, the facility reduces administrative costs and harm to the environment.

Starting Pay on Appointment

The starting salary for all appointments (new recruits, employees who transfer within the organisation and employees promoted) is normally the first point of the new grade. In certain circumstances, it may be possible to approve a starting salary above the minimum. Each case will be looked at individually.

The Pay and Grading structure consists of 16 grades, as shown below.

Those entitled to an increment will normally be awarded on the 1st April each year or after 6 months if appointed to a new post at any time between 1st October and 31st March in any one year.
