Cardiff University is giving staff a one-off £500 cost of living payment. The university said the money was to help them in the “unprecedented cost of living crisis”.
Vice chancellor Colin Riordan and other members of the university executive board are not eligible, the university confirmed. The payment will go to all staff on grades 1-8 including those on variable hours and postgraduate research students who help teaching.
The money in November’s salaries will be pro rata according to hours to those employed by the university on November 1.
