If your post is aligned to a salary scale (please see the conditions of remuneration in your contract of employment) you should be entitled to an annual increment. For each year of service that you complete within the University, you will move up one point of the salary scale. This is known as an annual increment. When you reach the last point on your current salary scale, you will then serve a number of years at a fixed point on the salary scale until you reach the final point. This is known as a Long Service Increment.

Increment dates for professional, management and support services staff are the 1^st of the month having completed one years satisfactory service at the grade.

Increment dates for academic staff are 1^st January, 1^st April, 1^st July and 1^st October.
