Dear Mr Smith,
Re: Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 – Request for Information
Thank you for your email which was received by the University on 3 March 2011 timed 02:41
hours, requesting the following information:
‘1. How many non-academic staff are employed in directorial level posts, that is earning in
excess of £57431 at the top of the regular published salary scales? Please list the roles
and remits for all. Names and exact salaries are not required but official job titles and an
indication of which university service the post holders work for would be appreciated.
2. How many of these post holders have been appointed in the last 2 years?
3. How many non-academic appointments are pending in posts above Grade 9 on the
salary scale?
4. Likewise how many posts are currently being advertised (or are in the hands of external
headhunting recruitment agencies), and how many are going through the process of
approval?
5. How are salaries, annual increments and bonuses calculated for these posts?
6. The university is operating a voluntary redundancy scheme at the moment. Can you
confirm that the severance package offered to directorial level staff is exactly the same
as that for staff in pay bands 1-9, and that there are no golden handshake enhancements
or ex gratia non-disclosure payments for directorial level staff?
7. How many non-academic directorial level staff have already opted for voluntary
severance under this scheme?
8. It would appear from information on your website that the principal sit on the
Remuneration Committee, a Committee which among other things determines the
salaries of the members of Senior Management Group; and in his absence, the Principal
himself. On the surface of it there would appear to be a slight conflict of interest in this
arrangement. Are the deliberations of this committee (in determining salaries and
bonuses for senior members of staff) available for public scrutiny?’
