Equal Pay Statement
The University of Glasgow is committed to the principles of equal pay for all of our employees. We operate a single job evaluation scheme to measure the relative value of all jobs in our pay and grading structures within an overall framework that is consistent, transparent and fair. The University aims to eliminate any sex bias in our pay systems and understands that equal pay between males and females is a legal right under in accordance with both domestic and European law.
Our Policy aims to reflect equal pay with respect to remuneration, development and career progression for all staff in ensuring that the level of reward is appropriate to the relative size and content of the job. It is in the interests of the University to ensure that we have fair and just pay systems. The University is working towards ensuring that employees have confidence in the University process of eliminating gender bias and we have therefore been committed to working in partnership with the recognised trade unions. The University will continue working with the various stakeholders and the recognised trade unions in particular in taking action to ensure that it provides equal pay.
We believe that eliminating sex bias in its pay systems demonstrates best practice and commitment to its employees and students through equitable, fair and transparent reward mechanisms whilst effectively managing University finances. We believe these efforts in avoiding unfair discrimination will ultimately improve morale and enhance University effectiveness and efficiency in fulfilling its strategy and contribute to our vision as a place which retains and attracts the very best staff.
Our equal pay objectives are to:
- eliminate any unfair, unjust or unlawful practices that impact on pay
- take appropriate action to address these accordingly
- regularly monitor and review the application of its policies and procedures and
- conduct an annual equal pay review in terms of gender, employment basis, ethnicity, disability and age.
