Publisher's Synopsis
Right up-to-date for 2002 . Making decisions about the pay of staff in schools can be a difficult part of the role of governors and also senior managers. Since the introduction of performance management and performance related pay for teachers, the job has not been made any easier and will certainly lead to more involvement from governors in making decisions about pay. The seventh book in the EPM series gives independent advice on the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document, including its mandatory provision and the areas where the governing body has discretion. The book also provides guidance on tackling the issues raised by performance management and in particular its link to pay for classroom teachers and for those senior staff paid on the leadership group. Furthermore it deals with the limitations and flexibilities of making appropriate payments to support staff. Bev Curtis has been one of the leading authorities in this area for many years and brings all this experience and expertise to his interpretation of the statutory requirements.
