Staff Retention cases
The University has in place arrangements for the conferment of personal titles, review of professorial salaries, additional and discretionary increments, and other reward mechanisms. These measures, by dint of being considered on a cyclical basis, are not well suited to the rare occasions when the University wishes to consider attempting to retain a member of staff who has an offer of employment from elsewhere. The University Executive Board considers it important, in an increasingly competitive environment, to have a policy setting out how it deals with retention.
The University will only seek to retain a member of staff in exceptional circumstances.
A retention case can be brought for any member of staff, regardless of grade or category.
A case will usually only be considered if the member of staff has a job offer from another organisation, although the Vice-Chancellor may, exceptionally, waive this condition.
Further details can be found in the Retention Policy
Applications are made using the Case for Retention of a member of staff form.
