The Sick Leave Scheme for teachers is regulated by the Public Service Management (Sick Leave ) Regulations, as amended.  These Regulations encompass all public sector employees, including teachers.

The provisions regarding the arrangements for teachers to cater for COVID-19  including special leave with pay are set out in Circular 0024/2020.  Any special leave with pay granted for the purpose of diagnosis of COVID-19, self-isolation will not be counted as part of the teacher’s Sick Leave record.
