Pay Scales & Grade Boundaries

The University of Manchester has a single pay spine that applies to all staff within grades 1 – 8.

Separate pay and grading arrangements are in place for professorial staff and academic-related grade 9 staff.

During the job evaluation process an overall numerical score is generated that is assigned to a particular grade on the University’s single pay spine, however it does not determine the actual salary/incremental point within that grade.

The numerical scores of each grade boundary are:

Grade 1: 143 - 198
Grade 2: 199 - 219
Grade 3: 220 - 268
Grade 4: 269 - 323
Grade 5: 324 - 389
Grade 6: 390 - 477
Grade 7: 478 - 575
Grade 8: 576 - 640
