Increments

Subject to satisfactory performance, a staff member on an incremental scale may receive an increment following each 12 months of continuous service until reaching the maximum point on the scale. The award of increments is subject to satisfactory performance and the Head of School/Unit will have the responsibility of assessing performance and therefore recommending on the award of an increment.

A staff member's incremental date is considered to be that on which she/he joined the
University on a permanent basis. Award of the first increment depends on a favourable
