PAYMENT OF SUB TEACHERS – UPDATE: 21 MARCH 2020
NITC letter to Minister of Education re: Substitute Teaching Workforce: 19 March (PDF)
Confirmation From NISTR:
| As a substitute teacher, how will school closures affect my booking and pay?Even though schools will be closed to pupils, they will remain open for staff so that they can access resource materials and make arrangements for remote learning as appropriate, to facilitate provision for vulnerable children and those of key workers, and be available to carry out other duties that principals may require of them.
All employees will receive normal pay across the range of circumstances that we are facing whether they remain in the workplace, are working from home or are unable to carry on working due to circumstances beyond their control. Substitute teachers will also receive their normal pay for the period of time that they have been engaged to work. This includes any engagements currently registered on the NISTR system AND any engagements which have been verbally agreed between the school and the substitute teacher. |
