More than 2,000 Ulster University (UU) staff are to get a one-off cost-of-living payment of up to £1,000.
The payment is the result of an agreement between the university and the University and College Union (UCU).
All of the university's 2,700 staff apart from professors and senior management will receive the extra payment.
As part of the agreement, the UCU at Ulster University has ended a boycott of marking and assessment.
