I don't really know that aspect, because those members of staff are in a different union to the academic and academic-related staff. Given the universities were always insisting that they wouldn't negotiate with us early because any pay offer had to apply to everyone I'm a bit surprised if the first offer wasn't put to everyone.
Lower paid staff members will actually do better than the headline figure because the first few increases are put in terms of x% or £y whichever is greater. It was suggested that this sort of staff member will be getting closer to 15.5% overall.
UCU are a bit concerned to make sure these pay increases also apply to hourly-paid staff, I don't know if that's the difference. It doesn't seem to be explicitly mentioned in the offer.
