Applications for regrades must be submitted to the Reward team through a staff request. Where a regrade is successful, a new appointment must be created; start with the 'Replace existing appointment in a department you can access' section in this guide and follow the steps there onward.
Appointment start date and backdated payments
The appointment start date must be the first day of the month in which the regrading application was received by the Reward team. Where backpay is due, departments should request this via the 'Salary Comments' field during the appointing process, as a lump sum payment equating to the value of the difference in salary for up to 12 months. This lump sum is non-pensionable and will show on your payroll costing report.
