Pay initiatives

The College has four different pay initiatives that constantly reviews its financial offering for staff, ensuring it is equitable for all and in line with relevant internal and external benchmarks. 

Choose the relevant initiative:

Annual pay review

The annual pay review takes place annually between the College and the Joint Trade Unions.

Find out more about the negotiations

Pay relativity

Pay relativity is determined by each area of the College and is one of the mechanisms for rewarding staff.

Understand the process

No title needed

Pay and benefits review

Each year the College conducts a review of its pay, benefits and how it spends its money.

Gender pay gap reports

The College routinely reviews its gender pay gap and circulates it to all staff.
