STAFF at Ulster University (UU) are to receive a one-off cost-of-living payment of up to £1,000.
It comes after a deal was reached following a long-running dispute over pay, workloads and pensions. The action had led to a marking and assessment boycott by staff.
It emerged last week that the dispute between UU and lecturers at the university had been resolved following "constructive engagement".
The payment is the result of an agreement between the university and the University and College Union (UCU), which represents lecturers and support staff.
The agreement means that all of the university's 2,700 staff apart from professors and senior management will receive the extra payment.
It is understood that the payment ranges from around £600 for higher paid staff up to £1,000 for the lowest paid staff.
As part of the agreement, the UCU at UU has ended a boycott of marking and assessment.
It comes after staff were involved in a dispute over pay, workloads, pensions and increasing "casualisation" of employment by members of the union at a number of UK universities.
The union had claimed that university staff pay had faced a succession of real terms reductions and staff are faced cuts of around 35 per cent to their pensions.
