COVID-19: Changes to Special Leave
- Published: 10 February 2022
Last Thursday, the DE issued Information Note 0002/2022 outlining changes to special leave with Pay that came into effect from 7 February onwards for all Teaching and SNA staffs. The Information Note does not operate retrospectively and guidance in DE Circular 42/2021 and Information Note 0001/2022 will continue to apply to teachers and SNA who commenced special leave with pay prior to 7 February.
A revised application form (Appendix A) is required to be completed when a teacher or SNA is applying for special leave with pay from 7 February onwards. A number of scenarios have also been included by the DE in Appendix B of the information note.
