I’d like to know what’s the range for the salary if I switch? Does anyone know?

Have been doing FAJT for a few years now. FAJTs are hourly rated according to your last drawn grade. Becos the availability of FAJTs are dependent on school needs,it is not so stable. Personally I have to switch schools when my services no longer needed. Overall monthly pay has dropped by half and considering you are not paid during June,Nov and Dec,the annual pay cut can drop by two-thirds. Do consider very carefully. But there are pros as well as you mentioned above.

May I know what is the hourly rate of a FAJT? For an experienced ex-MOE teacher who has been in the service for about 12 years, teaching EL in primary school. Thank you in advance!

What was your subgrade just before you left service? What was your last drawn salary?

will taking no pay leave for say 1 year affect subsequent promotions and CEO when officer returns to service?

Depending on reasons for your NPL. If it is medical reasons, usually no. But if it’s because you need a break or cannot come with work, then yes.

What about for reasons such as childcare or elderly parents?

Yes it will affect. If your NPL is more than 1 month.... Even for valid reasons.

Yes it will affect. Even for a KP who takes NPL for childcare. Her promotion was delayed..

Just curious if anyone applied through open posting for non teaching positions after no pay leave?
