Teachers pay award 2019/20
To seek approval by the head of paid service on the proposed arrangements for an above national pay award for teachers. The proposals aim to ensure that all teachers are treated equally and receive a cost of living increase. For the last four years, the national pay award has only applied to the statutory bottom(minima) and top (maxima) of all pay ranges and allowances and not the pay points in-between these points.
It is for local authorities to determine whether they accept the national proposal or develop an alternative proposal to address any concerns of inequity that the national agreement could create Local authorities nationally have maintained the previous pay structure for teachers and therefore if the national pay award was applied, a significant number of teachers would not receive a cost of living increase because they are on the pay points in-between the top and bottom points . Providing such an award can positively affect recruitment and retention for council schools.
Allowances refer to TLRs (teaching and learning responsibilities) and SEN (special educational needs).
