Do I have the right to the same pay I was previously on if I ask to end my secondment early?
Posted on 8 Oct 2018
I took up a secondment role at another school in our multi-academy trust. This commenced from September 18 and was to be for a year. I have asked for the secondment to end after one month due to stress related issues at the host school which has been agreed and I have now been returned to my original school. I previously was paid on upper payscale 3 and had a teaching and learning responsibility which carried an extra payment. This has been my pay for the last 2 years. I have a letter stating that my job with the teaching and learning responsibility would be'kept open' for me as I took up the secondment. I am now being told that I have no entitlement to the TLR as the school was not expecting to have to pay me. I signed no paperwork relating to the secondment and was not told I would lose pay when I asked to end the secondment early.
