Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2023
317. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education when a person (details supplied) in County Donegal will receive payment for working as an SNA; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29438/23]
View answerThe SNA concerned was employed to cover a temporary post from 22/02/2023 to 27/02/2023 inclusive, pending the outcome of an interview for the post. A temporary appointment form was received on 21/3/2023, along with two other short-term temporary appointment forms.
It should be noted that, in the main, payment dates are dependent on when claims are made via the On Line Claims System (OLCS) and schools are regularly reminded to ensure that this is done in a timely fashion.
However, in this case, it appears that due to an administrative error, the appointment form was not properly processed when received in NTS Payroll. This resulted in payments not issuing for the dates mentioned above. I would like to assure you that this matter has been addressed and also to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Payment for six days is due to issue to the SNA on 22/06/2023, along with payment for seven substitute days (for various days worked between 15/05/2023 and 25/05/2023) which were keyed via OLCS by another school that the SNA was employed in.
Payment for a day worked on 19/04/2023 issued to the SNA on 25/05/2023.
