Honoraria for all groups of staff

Where a member of staff does not cover the full duties of a higher graded post but is nevertheless asked to undertake a significant number of additional duties that do not fall within the expectations of their grade (for a period in excess of six consecutive weeks), they may be paid an honorarium. In such circumstances a request for an honorarium may be made in writing by the Head of Department/Division to the HR Division, giving the circumstances and duration of the additional work. The appropriate sum will be agreed between the line manager and the HR Division in light of the circumstances of each case.
