2012 UCL pay negotiations

The negotiations over the 2012/2013 pay award for non-clinical staff have concluded.

 The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) and unions have agreed a 1% pay award. This will be backdated to August 2012 and paid with arrears in January 2013.

Non-Clinical London Allowance will also be uplifted by 1% and paid with arrears to August 2012 in January 2013.

The final settlement also includes a commitment that the UCEA and unions will jointly work to explore equality-related issues including

• The recommendations of the 2009/10 Equality Working Group.
• A survey to review the impact of the final report of the Equality Working Group and its recommendations on the conduct of equal pay reviews, including hourly paid employees
• Engaging with the Equality Challenge Unit (ECU) to explore the approaches to disability leave in the sector.

UCEA will be taking steps to discuss with the trade unions how to jointly progress the non-pay elements of this settlement.
