Teachers are employed by the managerial authorities of schools. The managerial authorities must submit certain documentation to the payroll section of my Department to enable teachers to be paid on the payrolls.

In the case referred to by the Deputy the managerial authority did not submit notification of the teacher resuming in her teaching post in the school in September 2020.

Staff in my Department only became aware of the position when contacted by the person referred to.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the person has been advised that she will be paid full salary on the 12th November.
