03026: Grade structure
Field Information
| Number: | 011 |
| Name: | Grade structure |
| Abbreviation: | GRADE |
| Length: | 2 |
| Status: | This field must be completed with a valid code other than the default code when any of the activity code fields (24, 27, 30) for this contract have been coded '2A' and the contract is not 'atypical'. |
| Description: | The Grade structure indicates the staff member's grade for this contract. |
| Notes: | NB This field as currently specified collects data for academic staff only and mimics the grade field in the Staff Individualised Record. Detail of the data to be recorded about grade and salary in future years has not yet been confirmed, as it will be necessary for this to reflect the final outcome of current negotiations between UCEA and the unions. However, it is looking likely that the new pay and grading structures will not be implemented until after 2003/04 in the majority of institutions. This field and the salary point field will then be redefined (in terms of both coverage and valid entries) to reflect the new arrangements from 2004/05. This field should show the grade for the contract at 31 July 2004 or the end date of the contract if earlier. If a member of staff is on related PCEF, UAP or CSCFC grade structures but not on one of the grade structures specified they should be returned as codes 29, 59 or 65. It is recognised that there is not a scale for UAP Professors. Code '34' should be used for all professors paid upwards from the UAP professorial minimum and awarded UAP nationally agreed settlements. It is recognised that in some institutions it may be difficult or impossible to assign staff to a particular grade structure. In such instances, code '99' should be used. Institutions using the Final Salary Spine for field 16 Salary point should use codes '71-74 Locally determined scale' in this field. Default code 'XX' must be used when all of the activity code fields (24, 27, 30) have been coded either '1', '2B', '3A', '3B', '3C', '4A', '4B', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9' or 'XX'. Default code 'XX' can be used for atypical staff. |
| Reason Required: | For staff profiling and the tracking of career histories. |
