The procedures detailed below apply to all staff categories employed by the university, as well as casual workers and personal service workers for whom St George’s is obliged to operate PAYE income tax and National Insurance contribution deductions.

See Human Resources for full details of the terms and conditions.

It is usual, though not guaranteed, for the various pay rates to be increased each year to cover the cost of inflation. Pay rates for university staff are negotiated nationally, with an annual settlement date of 1 August. The university also employs some clinical staff for whom pay rates mirror the NHS pay rates.

For current pay rates, see 'Salary scales' below.

Overpayment of salary

The Payroll and Pensions Office cannot normally make a deduction (other than statutory deductions) from your salary unless you have previously given us written consent or your contract of employment allows it.

An exception to this is where there has been an overpayment of salary. The Employment Rights Act 1996 allows for an employer to recover overpayments of salary through a deduction of an employee's wages even if this is without prior agreement.

In the event of an overpayment coming to the attention of the Payroll Office, we will send you a letter informing you of the overpayment. This letter will also outline the repayment arrangements, which may include a repayment plan. If we don’t receive a response to this letter, we will send you a follow-up letter. If we don’t receive a response to the second letter, we reserve the right to collect the amount due in future consecutive pay periods until the amount due is fully repaid.

Jury service
