Answer
Pay increments for teachers are due from the 01 September on an annual basis. In accordance with the Executive pay remit process, temporary cover was obtained from DFP which ensured that the pay increments for 2015 were paid to eligible permanent teachers in September 2015, while eligible temporary teachers received their incremental pay increase in October 2015.
