Richmond The American University in London 2022-2023 Pay Claim
The Branch has submitted a pay claim as the members have urged. It is the first pay claim that the Committee will negotiate, however, as part of our Joint Recognition Agreement, it is a process we expect to engage in annually with the Senior Management team going forward.
We researched income pressures that faculty are facing, consulted with our Regional UCU Officer, and considered Richmond faculty’s pay in the broader HE context. Based on all this information (see appendix and Pay Factsheet), we are asking for the following:
- A pay uplift of 11.99% for all staff from 1stAugust 2022, to keep up with the cost of living (RPI) and to address some of the real terms pay lost from a lack of a pay increase since 2018
- A minimum hourly wage of £12 for all staff
- For the standard working week to be 35 hours for all staff with no loss of pay
