Calculation of term time only pay
Standard term time only pay is calculated on the basis of the following:
1. Number of ‘teaching’ weeks – 38 weeks; plus
2. Public (bank) holidays – 1.6 weeks (8 days); plus
3. Individual leave entitlement - 5.2 weeks (26 days) or 6.2 weeks (31 days)
Individual leave entitlement is calculated on the length of continuous service. Employees with less than 5 years’ service will receive 26 days annual leave. Employees with more than 5 years’ service will receive 31 days annual leave.
For example: Calculation for employees with less than 5 years’ service: 38 weeks (term time) + 26 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 44.8 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments.
Calculation for employees with more than 5 years’ service: 38 weeks (term time) + 31 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 45.8 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments.
Closing date: Friday 31st January 2025
