Teachers are paid on the ordinary pay scale (OPS), which ranges from M1 – M6. Once a teacher reaches the maximum of the scale (M6) and remains there for one year, they are eligible to apply for Threshold (Performance Related Pay). A teacher must pass the threshold process, assessed by their principal to progress to the upper pay scale (UPS), which ranges from UPS1 – UPS3.
