UCL Statement regarding staff working for contractors
UCL is today announcing it is bringing forward the harmonisation of sick pay for all cleaning, security, portering and catering staff in response to the coronavirus Covid-19 crisis. From this Monday 23 March 2020, staff employed by UCL's suppliers Axis, Sodexo and Aramark will be able to access sick pay from day one. This had been planned for July, but as a direct result of the coronavirus pandemic, UCL has today decided to bring forward the date. The university had previously announced that it will harmonise pay for security, cleaning, catering and portering staff. This will go ahead as planned on the 1st April 2020. For most staff, this will mean a pay rise on their hourly rate. UCL is also honouring length of service when mapping to UCL grades and rates, and future rises will now be linked to progression through the UCL pay spine.
