Clearing the confusion around Pay Parity

For many of us, the introduction of Pay Parity has been a welcome recognition of the important work that we do as educators and leaders in the ECE sector.

BUT it has also created another pile of confusion and more questions than answers for managers and for teachers.

1. Where do you even start to work out where you should be on the pay scale?

2. What evidence do I need?

It's time to clear the confusion, and get clarity and accurate answers around pay parity so that you can feel confident you are assessing teachers correctly (if you are a manager) and that you are being paid correctly (if you are a teacher).

Sue has covered;

1. Who the minimum salary scales apply to

2. How to assess the qualification group and what the entry and maximum steps mean

3. What counts as recognised service

4. What counts as previous relevant work experience

5. Who is entitled to the management step(s)

6. How salary progression is calculated

7. What pay parity records must be kept to satisfy the MoE Auditors
