HERA (Higher Education Role Analysis)
The University implemented the HERA job evaluation scheme in August 2006. This scheme covers
the grading of all staff apart from academic and research staff, who are
covered by a
different but related review process. HERA is used in more than 120
higher education institutions in the UK and is acknowledged to be a fair,
objective and reasonable way to evaluate roles across the university sector.
Further information about HERA, including forms
and supporting notes, are available in a password-protected area of this
site.
The HERA scheme is used to both
review the grading of
staff in post and also to
establish the grading for a new post.
Statistics
Since the end of 2010
statistics relating to grading cases considered under the HERA
scheme have been published. This includes information on the number of
cases considered with outcomes, and the number of appeals with outcomes. All
data is anonymous.
