Career as Teacher

Hi Everyone

Does anyone know when do they pay out the FLP and Responsibility Allowances? Also does anyone know the amounts for each payment? Appreciate your inputs. Thank you so much!

If you are in FLP, you will know all this (written in the letter).
If you don't, then you don't need to know the info.

I got C+/B for the year after my promotion to GEO5 as well as SEO1.
Don't see an issue to appeal since I am relatively low grade and performing similar portfolio with SEO1 and SEO2 respectively.

Might want to have a conversation with your RO or P before you throw the appeal route.

It might also be a mismatch between your idea of how much more you are doing for that year compared to those in your subgrade. Do note that work is usually pre-allocated for that year and they are unlikely to give you more work upon confirming your promotion in Apr.

Not just that. The environment itself is another factor. Is your school well-staffed? Is your strength in an area without vacancies? Check with your RO if you are eligible to consider LH/SH or ST-ship. While they cannot tell you your CEP explicitly, they can at least tell you what their assessment of your readiness is.

If you really think you are ready, then take the courage for cross-level deployment or open posting to a school with needs and the vacancy.

It takes courage and ACTION on your part as well to change the status quo.

For FLP, read the letter and info pack that was sent to you upon emplacement.

For Responsibility Allowance, read your appointment letter.. it's there on Page 1.

As a KP on FLP you can do way better. If you're not, please focus on more important things such as professional learning and capacity building, instead of comparing with others and worrying about others' progression vs. yours.

Thanks! It only says April (not indicated when in April)for the FLP and no exact amount is stated in the letter. As for the RA, it wasn't made known. That's the reason for asking. Would you care to enlighten? Thanks

If you were emplaced in work year 2023, the exact amount is made known in Para 6 of the letter and the terms of payment are in the Annex.
The RA is more public information, you can search intranet for the exact amounts and timeline for payment. The search term to use is "Responsibility Allowance", it's all there.

Thanks for the advice. After years of being a HOT, I feel tired and lack the courage and confidence to take up more responsibilities and find myself having a lot of contradicting thoughts about what I truly want from this job. I have children and the job does take me away from them. My school has many FAJTs and the number keep increasibg. Many teachers left full time teaching the last few years to the point FAJTs are asked to take up FTship (in lieu of a teaching class) while the KP estab has stayed stable and ST count increased. KPs do say there is a lot of work but they seem to be hanging on to their roles.

If unhappy about being at ceiling and feel that can do more, can always indicate interest at KP position to go up SEO scale

There are also many happy being HOT, and focus more on family and other things outside of work

Thanks for the first line. Different perspective. I agree its better to rrach ceiling faster but it also takes out the motivation to work as you kinda know you cannot get an increment doing the same work. My school KPs by the way are all SEO. My SLs push them up fast so that they are motivated to work. That is why the KP estab is steady. Perhaps I need to sign up for Career Counselling to check what is it I truly want.
