(Please read in conjunction with EDBCM 130/2003 Results of the Review of Job-related Allowances.)

 

A.

Head's Responsibility Allowance : Boarding Section

 

In recognition of the additional responsibility undertaken by the Head of a practical school with an approved boarding section, the Supervisor may recommend that the Head should receive a special allowance equivalent to 15% of the mid-point of the salary scale for Senior Social Work Assistant.

B.

Special Education Allowance

A special education allowance may be awarded to CM/GM, while serving in such capacity in a practical school or skills opportunity school, who are undergoing a recognized course of training in special education run by the Hong Kong Institute of Education. The allowance will be at a rate equivalent to one increment next on the Master Pay Scale above the level of their substantive pay.

 

(b)

A special education allowance may be awarded to staff in the ranks of CM/AM/SAM/PAM/GM/SGM/PGM/Pr II, while serving in such capacity in a practical school or skills opportunity school, who have successfully completed a recognized course of training in special education run by the Hong Kong Institute of Education, or a course recognized by the Director as an equivalent. The allowance will be at a rate equivalent to two increments next on the Master Pay Scale above the level of their substantive pay.

 

(c)

Staff in the above ranks appointed as temporary replacements will be eligible for the special education allowance if they have completed special education training recognized by the Director.

 

(d)

Part-time staff in the above ranks will be eligible for the special education allowance on a pro-rata basis if they have completed special education training recognized by the Director.

C.

Acting Allowance

 

A full-time PGM/SGM/GM/SAM who has been recommended and approved to take up the functional duties of a higher office in the rank of Pr II/ PGM/SGM/PAM as appropriate on an acting basis for a qualifying period of not less than 14 calendar days will be entitled to draw an acting allowance for the period concerned as follows :

 

(a)

(a) Acting-up with replacement (this involves acting in a functional post which carries a higher maximum salary point than that of the teacher's substantive rank) - 100% of the difference between the teacher's substantive salary and the minimum salary of the higher rank in which he is acting; or at a rate equivalent to the increment next on the rank-scale of the acting post above the level of the teacher's substantive salary if it is the same or more than the minimum salary of the acting post.

 

(b)

Note:

1.

Sundays and school holidays immediately preceding and following the period of absence of the substantive post holder form part of the qualifying period but not included in the calculation for acting allowance. Acting appointments which fall solely within the summer vacation will not attract acting allowance.

 

2.

Leave exceeding three consecutive working days or leave necessitating the grant of an acting allowance to another teacher for the whole or part of his leave involves the forfeiture of the acting allowance for the whole period of leave.

 

3.

Leave exceeding 30 days or leave necessitating the grant of another teacher to act as the head or deputy head for the whole or part of his leave involves the forfeiture of the responsibility allowance for the whole period of leave.
