The Formula for Calculation Market Supplements for Academic Clinical Psychologists
2008 Market Supplement ModelUniversity of Glasgow
Human Resources Service
It was agreed in May 2009 the formula and level of market supplements to be paid to academic clinical psychologists.These market supplements provide for lump sum payments to aid the initial attraction of psychologist staff to academic roles and to help retain staff in academia as they gain in seniority with the University.
- 1. Supplements will be applied as pensionable fixed payments above the university base-line salary;
- 2. All market supplements are recalculated annually, in line with University pay awards or at the time of promotion of the individual;
- 3. If necessary there will be an adjustment to the university scale point to ensure that total earnings (including market supplement) on appointment to a university grade, excluding promotions to contribution points, will not exceed the maximum total earnings possible on the lower grade;
- 4. The University reserves the right to amend this model in the future as it sees fit, after appropriate consultation with the academic psychologists;
- 5. The University Market Supplement Policy is available at:
- 6. The supplements will be calculated annually:
- 6.1 For University grade 7, 8 and 9 academic psychologist staff, as the difference between the mid-point (where there is no mid-point a notional point will be determined) of the appropriate NHS Banding (as detailed in the table below) and the top point of the University grade appointed to.
- 6.2 For Professorial staff, the supplement will be the difference between the minimum point of NHS Band 9 and the University salary on the professorial pay scale for the first five years and the difference between the notional mid-point of NHS Band 9 and the University salary thereafter. The University Professorial Grade is under review and the market supplement calculation method will change following that review.
