The 2009/10 pay award
SR has stated that due to the economic situation she has been advised to award a 1% pay increase to all DVC staff (the AoC has recommended 1.5% and this has been accepted by all unions exept UCU). SR proposes to offer 1.5% - but in order to do this it would have to be paid from January (so it would be 1% in real terms). The proposed package would be 1.5% to all staff (or £250 whichever is more) from January 2010! However, this is only a proposal at the moment and will firstly have to be presented to the ‘Pay and Renumeration’ meeting (17th November) for approval then to a finance meeting and finally recommended to the board of governors.
UCU regional representatives and I will be meeting SR and TD to discusss rationalisation to the new pay scale on 13th (Friday). This is a continuation of the IOU campaign (the 2004 AoC recommendation not implemented by SR at DVC). DVC UCU are now in dispute with management at DVC regarding the recent National pay award. SR has made it quiet clear that the meeting on the Friday will make NO difference to the present situation.

Some facts regarding the financial state of Dearne Valley College and our Principal's salary
A recent report from the UCU research department (the state of Dearne Valley College and our Principals salary) indicates that:
1 - The operating surplus/(deficit), based on income & expenditure, before exceptional items, tax etc (T1.12a in LSC College Finance Records) is £552,000
2 - Money available in cash or things that can probably be turned into cash (stocks & stores in hand; short-term investments; and cash at bank & in hand – ie all of current assets except amounts owed by debtors; EXCLUDES ‘Restricted cash and short term investments from disposal of fixed assets and held for future fixed assets acquisitions’) is £3,126,000
3 - The current ratio (ie current assets divided by current liabilities – should be >1.0 to show short-term ability to pay debts) is 2.2
4 - The income and expenditure – or general – reserve, which is the part of the reserves which has built up over the years through accumulated operating surplus/(deficit); the reserve has then been used by the college for investment in assets, such as buildings and equipment, of which current assets forms the most ‘liquifiable’ part is £3,047,000
5 - These show the Principal’s salary in the most recent years (excludes other elements of payment, such as employer’s pension contribution and benefits in kind) (figures have been rounded to nearest £’000) - 2006-2007 it was £75,000 and from 2007-2008 it was £87,000
6 - This shows the % change in the Principal’s salary between 2006-7 and 2007-8 of 16%
7 - The £’000 change in the Principal’s salary between 2006-7 and 2007-8 is therefore £12, 000
