I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department's payroll records indicate the person referenced is not registered with Teaching Council.

In accordance with Circular 0044/2019;

"an unregistered person so appointed will be paid a single rate of pay for unregistered persons who are engaged under the regulations and that rate of pay will be lower that that payable to registered teachers (unqualified rate)".

Accordingly, an unregistered person who engages in substitute teaching is paid at the flat daily rate for unqualified teachers and does not progress on the incremental salary scale which applies to qualified and registered teachers.
