An official from my Department has been in contact with the teacher referred to and outlined the current position to her.  The Tax Certificate details have been updated on the payroll system.  The appropriate deductions will take effect from her next pay issue and if any arrears are due they will be paid at that point.

Since October 2010, the teacher referred to, has been teaching as a substitute teacher in an unqualified capacity.  He has been registered with the Teaching Council as a qualified Primary School teacher since 3rd October 2016.  He is entitled to be paid a qualified rate of pay as a primary school teacher with effect from that date.  Since his date of registration with the Teaching Council as a qualified primary school teacher and whilst he has been working in a substitute capacity in a primary school, he has been paid the correct rate of pay on the incremental salary scale.
