In accordance with recommendations made by the Finance Committee and decisions taken by Council in December 2023, the following financial benefits have been adjusted, with effect from 1 January 2024:

• A 0.29% increase to the scale of basic salaries paid to Staff Members and the scale of stipends paid to Fellows and Graduates (Annexes R A 5 and R A 6 of the Staff Regulations).
• A 1.3% increase to the subsistence allowances (Annex R A 7 of the Staff Regulations), family, child and infant allowances (Annex R A 3 of the Staff Regulations) and to payment ceilings of education fees (Annex R A 4 of the Staff Regulations).

The index of 7.8% for home leave has already been applied as of June 2023.

The new ceiling of education fees will be applied to the entire school year 2023-2024.

Other related adjustments have been implemented wherever applicable to associated members of the personnel (2024 subsistence rates).
