A new web based system which enables Secondary and community/Comprehensive schools to input claims for the payment of casual and non casual teachers and special need assistants and record teacher absences on line from the school was introduced on the 6th November. During the first week of operation there were some technical difficulties with the system. These difficulties were resolved and the system is working satisfactorily. In the first payroll schedule for the payment of the casual and non casual teachers in excess of seventy thousand claims have been processed using the new system.
