University of Bristol UNISON |
|
Welcome to our Branch website.UNISON represents Administrative and Professional staff on grades A to I in the University. We negotiate for better pay and conditions, help individuals in trouble and campaign for a safer, fairer society. UNISON is one of Britain's biggest unions, representing almost 1.3 million people across the UK's public services. Dealing with Vacant PostsThe trade unions have been assured by the Director of Personnel and by the Registrar, as we enter a period of stringent controls on filling vacant posts, that the University recognises that reductions in staff must mean reduction in the work done, not just increased work for those still in post. But we are concerned that this reasonable approach may not carry through to line managers whose first concern is with getting the job done. The attached document (MS Word file) contains the union's advice on how to deal with this situation. You may want to print out and display it. Pay ClaimYou can keep up to date on developments via the national website. Current grades and salaries (PDF file) Remember: pay increases are not free gifts from the employers, they are negotiated by union representatives, supported by the combined strength of their members, and if necessary (but infrequently) backed by industrial action. If you’re not a union member then you’re not pulling your weight. Terms and ConditionsUNISON, in conjunction with the other trades unions at Bristol University, has negotiated a harmonised set of terms and conditions of employment which applies to all staff.Grading and RegradingThe University's current Pay and Grading Structure, as agreed with UNISON and the other campus unions, was introduced from 1 August 2007. If your job has changed significantly from the Job Description on which the grade is based then you can apply for a Re-Evaluation. If your post was new when you were appointed then you are entitled to submit a revised Job Description for Re-Evaluation after six months. Details of these processes can be found on the Personnel website. Details of the way job evaluation works can be found in the University of Bristol Job Evaluation Scheme (UBJES) booklet. If you want advice on your grade, please get in touch
