The request to regrade a post may arise from either the department or the individual where they feel that changes in the role are sufficient to require a review of the grade.

Regrading applications may be submitted at any point in the year. The application form, organisation chart and up-to-date job descriptions should be agreed between the member of staff and their line manager prior to submission.

The following documents are required to enable HR to process a regrading application:

  1. AT123 regrade request form – to be signed by line manager
  2. A completed regrade application
  3. Group structure chart/organisation chart
  4. Revised JD at proposed grade
  5. Up-to-date CV
  6. Any other additional supporting information you consider necessary

Please note that, should all required documents not be received by HR, the application will be placed on hold until they have been provided.

Once the application and all supporting documents have been received, HR will initiate a funding confirmation to verify that funding is in place. Following confirmation, the application will be submitted to the Head of HR for approval. Subject to approval, a staff request will then be raised for the role to be reviewed/graded by the Reward Team.

See also the guidance on grading and salary costing for externally funded fellowships (single sign on required).

For any other information please contact the HR Team.
