Pay and Conditions of Service

Pay and Conditions of Service

In most education establishments pay and conditions of employment are – to a greater or lesser extent – dictated by a mixture of collective agreements, statutory pay orders (in the case of the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document) and sector custom and practice (such as term time only pay). Pay and conditions are, of course, also underpinned by employment law which provides for a minimum floor of worker rights, such as the minimum wage.

What's in this topic collection:

This topic collection provides a range of resources covering pay and conditions. The subtopic areas contain information about the core pay arrangements that apply to teachers and support staff in maintained schools and elsewhere where the same collective agreements or national provisions have been adopted.

They also cover statutory minimum provisions for the benefit of establishments that do not recognise these collective agreements although the contractual terms that apply in such settings (and indeed any alternative collective agreements in place) should, of course, also be referred to.

Foundations of HR in Education 26 Feb

This course is designed to help delegates get a greater understanding of HR best practice, including statutory requirements related to pay and conditions of service that are specific to education. It focusses on introducing key HR administrative processes, procedures needed to ensure best practice and statutory compliance in education settings. Delegates will work through practical exercises, focussed on possible scenarios around the management of staff in schools. The course is made up of 4 x 3 hour modules delivered over 3 weeks

Breakfast Briefing 'Directed Time and Part Time Staff' 26 March

The majority of schools follow the School Teacher’s Pay and Conditions Document (either contractually or more generally). This document sets out details of what amounts to directed time for members of teaching staff. For staff that work part time there can often be confusion around how to utilise this time (and therefore pay) for INSET days, parents’ evening and other more unusual days. This briefing will explore these issues, with a view to supporting planning moving forward.
