Hi

We have our Staffing Committee this evening, but we are going to recommend to them we implement 2% across the board. A lot of the local school in our area are doing the same.

Thanks

Many schools are operating differently (I work with many schools). Some are costing up the 2% to see if it feasible but looking more likely to pay the 1%. I have some who are working with other schools locally to agree to the same increment thus ruling out any local competition.
Some are of course paying the 2% (where this can be afforded). Obviously the unions are pushing for the 2%.

Have you read the Joint Advice on School Teachers’ Pay 2017-18 being sent out by the unions?

I think there is going to be quite a bit of variety this year.

Hi Carol-Anne

Thanks for your reply. Can I ask where your school is based and what was the outcome of your committee meeting?

Thanks

Hi Jolene

Many thanks for your reply.

I have read the Joint Advice and agree that there will be a lot of variety.

From my research there seem to be three main options:
A) Pay 1% across the board
B) Pay 2% across the Main Pay Scale
C) Pay 2% at M1 and M6

Thanks again,

Marianne

We are looking to do 2% increase on all MPS and 1% on UPS, Leadership and unqualified - however it has not been approved by our Board yet.
