Salary

Permanent and fixed term teachers are paid by the Department of Education and Skills [DES] 26 times per year, normally on a Thursday. The DES operates a PayPath facility through which salary is paid directly to a bank or building society account.

A pay slip stating gross and net pay and giving details of deductions made from salary (tax, PRSI, VHI, INTO, Comhar Linn, etc) is also sent directly to an address nominated by the teacher. Log into Members’ Area for information on understanding your payslip.

Part-time/Substitute teachers pay

 In the event that a qualified substitute teacher works for more than 40 days in the academic year, each additional day worked over and above 40 days will be paid at a personal daily rate. The personal daily rate is determined by the incremental point of the common basic scale and the appropriate qualification allowance.
