Education Salaries and Staffing Regulations




18 SEPT.

(d) At a rate prescribed in Part V of the Third Schedule to this
order to the senior assistant in the secondary department
of a district high school of Grade B, or Grade C, or
Grade D, or of any higher grade if there is no special post
in that school, and if his maximum salary is not thereby
made greater than the maximum salary of the head
teacher of the school. If the payment of the rate as so
prescribed would make the salary greater than the maxi-
mum salary of the head teacher, then only such amount
of the additional salary shall be payable as will make the
salary equal to that of the head teacher.

  1. If any assistant teacher holds more than one of the positions
    referred to in clause 11 hereof, then the additional salary for the two
    positions payable to the teacher shall not exceed in any one year the
    rate of salary prescribed in Part III of the Third Schedule to this
    order:

Provided that a head of department for whom a salary is
approved at the rate shown in Part IV of the said Third Schedule
shall be paid that rate of salary.

  1. Additional salary at the rate prescribed in Part VI of the
    Third Schedule to this order may be paid to an assistant teacher
    appointed with the approval of the Director as a careers adviser who
    is not at the same time in receipt of additional salary as a first assistant,
    senior assistant mistress, or the head of a department.

  2. Subject to the provisions of clause 15 of this order the
    principal of a secondary, technical, or combined school to which is
    attached an intermediate department shall be paid, in addition to
    the salary prescribed for his position as principal of his school,
    additional salary at the appropriate rate prescribed in Part VII of
    the Third Schedule to this order.

  3. The additional rate of salary payable under clause 14 of this
    order shall not in any case exceed the difference (if any) between the
    scale salary of the principal and the scale salary payable to the
    principal of a school of Grade V.

  4. An assistant teacher appointed as the temporary or relieving
    principal of the school in which he is employed as an assistant shall
    be paid during the period he so acts, if the period exceeds two weeks,
    such additional salary not being in excess of the appropriate rate
    specified in the Part VIII of the Third Schedule to this order as the
    Director may approve:

Provided that the total salary shall not exceed that which he
would be paid as the principal of the school.

  1. A teacher appointed as the temporary or relieving principal
    of a secondary, technical, or combined school (other than the school
    in which he is employed as an assistant) shall be entitled to be paid
    scale salary as if he were permanently appointed to the position of
    principal.

  2. A teacher shall, during any period he is engaged as a relieving
    assistant teacher, be paid at the rate of salary to which he would be
    entitled if he had been permanently appointed to the position.

  3. The provision of the Education (Salaries and Staffing)
    Regulations 1948 regarding payment of salary for school vacations
    shall apply to relieving teachers.

  4. Subject to the provisions of this order, payment for overtime
    shall be made to full-time assistant teachers at the rates specified in
    Part IX of the Third Schedule to this order:

Provided that any teacher who is classified in a grade lower than
Grade V, and who is the holder of a special post, shall be entitled to
be paid overtime at the rate prescribed for a teacher of Grade V.

  1. For the purposes of clause 20 hereof, overtime means the
    time in excess of ten half-days during which an assistant teacher is
    engaged in any week in the work of teaching or otherwise in his
    capacity as a teacher.

  2. Every claim for payment of overtime under this order shall
    be supported by the certificate of the principal of the school in which
    the teacher is engaged as a full-time assistant.

  3. Subject to the provisions of this order, the hourly rate of
    payment for each part-time teacher shall be fixed by the controlling
    authority, being not less than the minimum nor more than the
    maximum rates specified in Part X of the Third Schedule to this
    order:

Provided that no part-time teacher shall be paid under this
clause for more than seven half-days in any week.

  1. The Director may in his discretion direct a controlling
    authority to vary within the rates prescribed in the said Part X
    of the Third Schedule the hourly rate payable to any part-time
    teacher.

  2. Where a part-time teacher is employed with the consent of
    the Director for more than seven half-days in any week, his salary
    shall, unless the Director otherwise directs, be computed as if he
    were a full-time teacher.

  3. Subject to the conditions prescribed in the Education
    (Salaries and Staffing) Regulations 1948, a boarding-allowance shall
    be paid to a relieving teacher at the rate prescribed in Part XI of
    the Third Schedule to this order, and the provisions of those regula-
    tions relating to payment of travelling-expenses shall apply to
    relieving teachers.

  4. Subject to the provisions of clauses 30, 31, and 32 of this
    order, every male teacher who is married shall be paid additional
    salary at the rate prescribed in Part XII of the Third Schedule to
    this order.

  5. Subject to the provisions of clauses 29, 30, 31, and 32 of
    this order, there may, with the approval of the Minister, be paid an
    additional salary at the rate specified in Part XII of the Third
    Schedule to this order to any teacher who is a married woman, or
    a widower, or a widow, or who is separated from his wife or, as the
    case may be, her husband, whether by an order of the Court or by
    agreement, or who has been divorced.

  6. Payment of additional salary in accordance with clause 28
    of this order may be approved only in cases where the teacher has
    one or more children under the age of eighteen years dependent
    on and maintained by him or her, or in any other special circum-
    stances approved by the Minister for the purposes of this clause.

  7. No additional salary shall be payable under clause 27 or
    clause 28 of this order to any teacher in respect of any period if
    during that period his wife or, as the case may be, her husband is
    employed in the Education Service or in any branch of the Govern-
    ment Service for remuneration at a rate in excess of £100 per annum,
    or is otherwise employed to such an extent that, in the opinion of
    the Minister, additional salary should not be paid, or is in receipt of
    a retiring-allowance exceeding £100 per annum from the Government
    Superannuation Board:

Provided that if the wife of a teacher undertakes relieving work,
the teacher shall receive the additional salary for the first ninety
days (or for such longer period as the Director may approve in any
special circumstances) of his wife's employment in any year ending
on 31 January.

  1. Additional salary in accordance with clause 27 or clause 28
    of this order shall not be paid except on application by the teacher
    on a form provided for the purpose by the Education Department
    and on production of such evidence in support of the application as
    may be required in accordance with that form.

  2. Payment of additional salary under clause 27 or clause 28
    of this order after the 31st day of January in any year shall be
    continued only on production before that date of a certificate by the
    teacher, on a form provided by the Education Department, that no
    circumstance has arisen which would make him or her ineligible to
    be paid the additional salary.

  3. Notwithstanding the provisions of this order no teacher to
    whom this order applies who was employed on the 1st day of
    September 1952 shall, under the provisions of this order, receive
    a total rate of basic salary and grading salary lower than he would
    have received under the Education (Salaries and Staffing) Regulations
