The University of Edinburgh has agreed to end pay deductions for union members taking part in the marking and assessment boycott, with strike action set for September to be cancelled.
The University and College Union is taking part in action short of a strike across the UK in a dispute over pay and conditions, meaning coursework and exams will not be marked by their members.
The action began on April 22, with the UCU stating that many members had been threatened with 50% or even 100% paycuts.
Staff at the University of Edinburgh took strike action in June after 50% deductions were applied, with a further walkout planned for September.
However, the two sides have come together to agree that pay deductions will be paused, effective July 1, with the strike action cancelled.
A statement issued by Professor Peter Mathieson on behalf of The University of Edinburgh and Sophia Woodman and Cat Wayland on behalf of UCU Edinburgh said: "The University has agreed to pause deductions for those currently taking part in the MAB with effect from 1 July 2023. Deductions up until this date will take place as previously notified unless national agreements supersede this.
