Amharc ar fhreagraFor 2022, staff that worked on the school-based summer programme received their personal rate of pay.
Under the home-based summer programme, grant funding is made available so that parents/legal guardians can engage the services of a Teacher or an SNA to provide tuition or care support as appropriate in the child’s home. Teachers and SNAs are paid per hour of tuition/care support delivered in line with agreed terms and public service pay agreements.
Public service pay is dealt with through centralised engagement and collective bargaining between Government and the public service unions.
