I wish to inform the Deputy that an official from my Department's payroll division has contacted the teacher concerned directly and answered her query.

For the Deputy's information, substitute teachers that are filling in for a scheduled leave absence will continue to be paid provided the leave absence and the substitution claim are entered on the OLCS system by their school.
