NJC APT&C Service Terms

Note: There has been no pay increase for the NJC pay awards since April 09 so the current 2009 pay awards are still valid, however, there is a pay award import file available that contains award dates of 01/04/10 and 01/04/11 (with the same point values as 2009) inorder to maintain a complete history. This pay award file also includes the new NJE grades. Please see below for details of how to upgrade.

New NJE Pay Scales

This file has been created for schools that are using the standard LA service terms. The import file contains the standard hours per week of 37hrs for the NJC APT&C service term and 32.5hrs for the TA service term. In the unlikely event that your school has different hours per week set up for the NJC and TA service terms, please follow the blue section below:
