Information for managers

A PDF copy of the `Red Circling: Management Guidance Notes´ is available to download from the box on the right. They have been compiled to assist Heads of Departments and Line Managers in dealing with staff who have been identified as red circled during the implementation of The University of Sheffield Grading Scheme.

The guidance notes apply to all staff covered by The University of Sheffield Grading Scheme. They are designed to promote good practice and to provide a framework for the effective management of staff who have been red circled following assimilation onto the new pay spine. The aim behind the procedure is to grow the job, but it must be recognised that this is not always appropriate and practicable.
