The various salary structures in Nigerian civil service according to NSIWC are as follows;
Consolidated Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure (CONTISS)

CONTISS is a salary structure that originated from the University Salary Structure (USS), which was introduced in the early 1980s, following the Cookey Report on the study of the problem of remuneration in the university system. This salary structure applies to the non-academic staff of universities; all academic and non-academic staff of Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, Research and Allied Institutes; and medical/dental/veterinary doctors/optometrists with OD Degrees in Federal Health Institutions such as Teaching Hospitals, Medical Centers, Specialist Hospitals etc. It also applies to all Federal Agencies formerly running the Harmonized Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure (HATISS).

It is a 15-grade salary structure with each scale consisting of a number of steps ranging from 15 for the lower grades to 9 for the highest grades.
