Salary matters
Your salary at SLU is determined by the requirements and responsibilities of your role and is normally reviewed annually. Salary progression is based on performance, competence and the University's salary policy.
Your salary is determined when you begin a new position at SLU. It is based primarily on the complexity of the role, the level of expertise and problem-solving skills required, as well as the responsibilities, authority and degree of independence associated with the position.
Your salary is normally reviewed as part of the annual salary review process, which usually takes place in the autumn. During the salary review, salaries are assessed and adjusted where appropriate. Any new salary is determined primarily on the basis of your performance in relation to organisational objectives and the individual goals agreed between you and your manager during your annual performance and development review.
To support the assessment of performance, SLU has established evaluation criteria for performance.
If you are employed as a doctoral student, your salary progression is governed by the doctoral salary scale.
Your salary may also be adjusted outside the annual salary review process. This may occur, for example, if you are promoted, appointed as an associate professor, take on a role with more advanced duties and responsibilities, acquire significant new skills, or where other special circumstances apply.
