UB, Union agree on salary adjustment

A memorandum of understanding (MoU), signed by UB Vice Chancellor Bojosi Otlhogile and the union's executive secretary Motseothata Gopane on September 16, states that the collective bargaining process was aimed at reaching an agreement on the adjustment of UB salaries to bring them in line with the national market (for middle management and junior support staff) and the regional and Commonwealth higher education market (for academic and senior support staff).

The parties agreed that an annual salary review based on prevailing remuneration market conditions will be conducted regardless of whether it would bring changes to the salary structure.  A job profiling and evaluation exercise would be carried out within a period of two years. The profiling and evaluation exercise should cover all support staff jobs.
