Salary Scales

All salary scales have been updated to include the National Insurance increase (effective 1 April 2025)

2025 Changes to the University pay spine (effective from 1 August 2025 until 31 July 2026)

The national pay negotiations for 2025/26 have now concluded, and University non-clinical salary scales have been updated to reflect a 1.4% pay award. This increase will be implemented in the September payroll and backdated to 1 August 2025, covering the period from 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2026.

In addition to the national pay award, University Council also decided to both increase the Oxford University Weighting and extend it to all non-clinical staff. As such, the Oxford University Weighting will increase by 15% (£230). It will also be extended to staff beyond those on grade 1-10 for the first time. This includes non-clinical staff on the University Terms & Conditions including Associate Professors, Statutory Professors, and senior staff above Grade 10.

It is pro-rated for part time staff. For colleagues with joint appointments, the University will pay its proportionate share of the weighting.

The increase is effective from 1 August 2025, and will be paid on September payday (Monday 29 September 2025).

Pay Increase: Salary scales updated (1 August  2015)

Following the 2015 national pay negotiations, the annual pay uplift for non-clinical University staff has now been approved for implementation at Oxford. 

For full details please refer to Personnel Services Revised Salary and Grading Structure: http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/personnel/reward/paystructure/. This is also available to download from the Personnel Services Circulars page.

The uplift is a 1% increase on salaries, save for the first five points of the University’s salary and grading structure where increases of 1.2% - 2% apply. The uplift is effective from 1 August 2015 and will be implemented in the January 2016 payroll.

Clinical academic and related salaries (with effect from 1 April 2015)

The 2015 salary arrangements for clinical academic and related staff have been approved on behalf of the Personnel Committee and the Planning and Resource Allocation Committee.

Clinical academic and related staff who were at the top of their pay spine on 31 March 2015 will receive a non-consolidated payment based on the following criteria:

  • If the member of staff reached the top of their scale between 1 April 2014 and 31 March 2015 they will receive a 1% non-consolidated payment.
  • If the member of staff reached the top of their scale on or before 31 March 2014 they will receive a 2% non-consolidated payment.

The salary scales for clinical academic and related staff remain unchanged. Additional points, distinction awards and clinical excellence awards also remain unchanged.

 Further information is available in the circular on the Personnel Services website.

01/08/14

The Personnel and Planning and Resource Allocation Committees have approved the implementation at Oxford of the 2014 national uplift to the single pay spine for university non-clinical staff.

This is also available to download from the Personnel Services Circulars page. The uplift is a 2 per cent increase on salaries with effect from 1 August 2014. The increase will be implemented in the August 2014 payroll.

30/01/13

It will be implemented in the January 2013 payroll, together with backpay.
