Pay calculation:
Term time only plus two additional weeks’ pay is calculated on the basis of the following:
- Number of ‘teaching’ weeks – 38 weeks;
- Plus Public (bank) holidays – 1.6 weeks (8 days);
- Plus Two additional weeks, inclusive of CPD – 2 weeks;
- Plus Individual leave entitlement - 5.4 weeks (27 days) or 6.4 weeks (32 days)
Individual leave entitlement is calculated on the length of continuous service. Employees with less than 5 years’ service will receive 27 days annual leave. Employees with more than 5 years’ service will receive 32 days annual leave.
For example: Calculation for employees with less than 5 years’ service: 40 weeks (term time plus 2) + 27 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 47 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments. Calculation for employees with more than 5 years’ service: 40 weeks (term time plus 2) + 32 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 48 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments.
