I wish to advise that the teacher referred to by the Deputy was granted a Carer's Leave of absence from her school for a specified period of time. The teacher applied to the Department to cancel the absence and return to work early. Officials from my Department liaised with the school regarding the cancellation of the Carer’s leave as the cancellation has an impact on teacher’s salary. The payroll schedule for 2023 has now completed and the teacher has been advised that the earliest possible payment date for salary is 18th January 2024. Any arrears due will be paid on the 18^thJanuary 2024 also.
