From this Monday 23听March 2020, staff employed by 果冻影院鈥檚 suppliers Axis, Sodexo and Aramark will be able to access sick pay from day one. This had been planned for July, but as a direct result of the coronavirus pandemic, 果冻影院 has today decided to bring forward the date.

The university had previously announced that it will harmonise pay for security, cleaning, catering and portering staff. This will go ahead as planned on the 1st April 2020. For most staff, this will mean a pay rise on their hourly rate. 果冻影院 is also honouring length of service when mapping to 果冻影院 grades and rates, and future rises will now be linked to progression through the 果冻影院 pay spine.
