In accordance with the provisions of Education Circular 0036/2022, school secretaries who have agreed to accept the full package of revised salary, terms and conditions have a standard entitlement to paid sick leave for up to 3 sick days in 2022 and 5 days in 2023. This is planned to increase to 7 days in 2024 and 10 days in 2025.
Where a school secretary who has agreed to accept the full package of revised salary, terms and conditions and, who has been employed by their school prior to the 1st September 2023, has a greater sick leave entitlement set out in their contract of employment with their school than those set out in the agreement, the sick leave entitlement set out in their contract of employment will continue to apply to that secretary.
