5. Annual Leave Loading

5.1 Calculation and Payment

a) Temporary teachers will receive a pro rata annual leave loading based on the total days temporary service between 1 December of each year and 30 November of the following year.

b) The maximum leave loading is equivalent to 17½% of four weeks normal salary, provided that payment cannot exceed the loading calculated on the maximum salary for a clerk, grade 12 in the Public Service.

c) Payment, based on a temporary teacher's salary rate as at 1 December, is automatically paid as early as practicable following the end of the school year.

d) With the exemption of the allowances listed below, all allowances which are paid to a temporary teacher on 1 December are included in the salary rate.

e) The following allowances do not attract annual leave loading:

5.2 Effect of Leave on Entitlement

a) Full pay leave and all workers' compensation leave count as full service and accrue annual leave loading.

b) Leave on half pay will only accrue annual leave loading for half the total number of days of absence.

c) All categories of leave without pay and unauthorised absences will not count as service and do not accrue annual leave loading.

d) Temporary teachers who take leave without pay during a school year and who have established an entitlement to vacation pay in the midsummer vacation, are entitled to pro rata payment for annual leave loading. Payment will be made as soon as possible after 30 November in the year in which the entitlement falls due.
