Pay latest

UKRI

8 June 2018

On 1 April 2018 the MRC became part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), an Executive Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB).

As previously at the MRC, UKRI will be required to gain approval from government to make basic salaries and allowance increases. Although the MRC's annual pay review date is 1 April, the Civil Service pay guidance that government departments must follow has not yet been released for 2018 so the joint union side is unable at the moment to submit a pay claim. Read the full update here.

Pay 2017

November 2017

Please read Staff Bulletin 549 for full information on the 2017 MRC pay offer.
