Circular 3/2012, issued on 31 January 2012, does not change the rates of allowances currently being paid to serving teachers and non-teaching staff in schools. However, pending the outcome of a public service-wide review by the Department of Public Enterprise and Reform, allowances are not payable to new beneficiaries; i.e. those who become eligible for receipt of the allowance in question on or after 1 February 2012. No additions to the common basic pay scale may be paid to new beneficiaries. Examples of such additions include any form of qualification allowance or the supervision and substitution payment paid to teachers, and the secretary to board of management allowance paid to school principals.
