United Grading Structure is a system in which all civil service jobs are classified into categories, with all jobs requiring similar qualifications and having similar challenges and duties falling into the same category.
- All civil service positions are given to one of many pay scales and each representing a grade.
- These grades can be separated into junior, middle, and senior levels.
- The advancement of an established service officer through the grades and levels is based on demonstrated performance.
- The Fulton Committee on the Home Civil Service from 1966 to 1968.
- In 1968, the Lord Fulton Committee suggested that the British government service use the "United Grading Structure."
- According to Fulton, Current administrators were not professional enough and lacked managerial abilities in particular.
- He advocated for a consistent grading system for all levels of government employees, as well as a Civil Service College and a central policy planning unit.
Thus, Fulton Committee recommended the "United Grading Structure" for the British Civil Service.
- Some of the benefits of a unified grading structure:
- an automatic upward movement in a time scale will be checked
- each officer will have to demonstrate positive merit to merit promotion from one grade to the next
- a more conscious assessment of each officer's work will become a practical necessity with concomitant benefits
- it will provide sufficient scope for genuine merit to earn accelerated promotion
