The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) has advised participating Higher Education Institutes to implement the increase on 1 August 2025.
UCEA's final position includes a 1.4% increase for all spinal points. We intend to implement the increase in September, with a backdate to 1 August. In September, we will send out more detailed communications outlining how this increase will affect those receiving our Real Living Wage Supplement.
