PROGRESSION WITHIN GRADES. Replace the current wording of clause 4.7.1 with the following:
PROGRESSION WITHIN GRADES. 24.1 Tutors Advancement to the next step in the grade shall occur after 12 months on the previous step.
PROGRESSION WITHIN GRADES. 4.7.1 From 1 November 2021, progression through steps within the minimum and maximum rates that apply to each Grade will occur on the employee’s anniversary date each year, unless the employer considers that the employee has failed to meet standards of performance as assessed by the employer against the job description or written requirements for the position, and has informed the employee of this no later than two months prior to the progression becoming due.
PROGRESSION WITHIN GRADES. 3.8.1 Progression through steps within grades will be on an annual basis provided that the employee has met or exceeded standards of performance as assessed by the employer against the job description and/or written requirements for the position.
PROGRESSION WITHIN GRADES. 4.7.1 Unless otherwise specified, progression within each grade shall be by annual increment, subject to satisfactory performance as measured in the latest performance appraisal.
PROGRESSION WITHIN GRADES. 3.1 Advancement across the steps shall be the decision of the Employer in accordance with the Promotion Procedures.
PROGRESSION WITHIN GRADES. 6.1 This Agreement applies the principles and arrangements set out in Appendix D of the NFA for pay progression within grades. Progression up to the contribution threshold for each grade. The NFA provides that (quote) ‘all staff … will have pay progression opportunities within the pay range for their grade’. The NFA also states that progression within grade will depend on the employee’s length of service in the grade in combination with an assessment of their contribution, and that there will be (quote) ‘a normal expectation of annual progression up to the contribution threshold for their grade’. This Agreement provides for pay progression for each employee within their designated pay grade on the basis of annual length of service anniversaries in the grade and individual participation in the Employee Appraisal Scheme. Pay progression will comprise the award of one additional spine point for each completed year of service in the grade to the maximum upper spine point limit of the designated pay grade. Note: this Agreement recognises that extended length pay grade structures can operate in ways that distort the maintenance of equal pay for work of equal value. The University’s grade structure at Appendix A takes account of current (2007) guidance on this issue and the University NFA Panel will take due account of any updated guidance as appropriate. Accelerated incremental progression. The NFA provides for accelerated incremental progression in circumstances (quote) ‘reflecting substantially greater than normal application of skill and experience by the job holder’. This Agreement recognises that the operation of accelerated incremental progression could operate in ways that could distort the maintenance of equal pay for work of equal value. Particular risks are associated with accelerated incremental progression linked to schemes of recognition of individual employee performance. For these reasons this Agreement does not provide for accelerated incremental progression associated with individual employee performance. Discretionary progression beyond the contribution threshold for each grade. Appendix D of the NFA provides for discretionary progression beyond the contribution threshold for each grade. This Agreement provides that this form of pay progression will not operate as part of the NFA at Southampton Solent University. In lieu of the discretionary pay progression provisions within the NFA this Agreement provides that: There will be no pay progression...
