Grading and Pay Scales
Jane Littlehales
Problem
No standard grades or pay scales for
ITSS
No standard job description or duties
No central control or administrator to
set them
Data Mining – Existing Data
ITSS on many scales
Cannot pick out ITSS from, say, all on
academic related scales
Staff categories on University payroll do
not show part time ITSS
Data Mining – Gather Data
ITSSG conducted an information gathering
exercise
Collected job adverts from jobs.ac.uk for 6
months
Analysed into job categories
Compared


Oxford vs. other universities
Universities vs. commercial
