Calculating Salary

How Salary is Calculated

A teacher's gross salary is comprised of various elements as follows:

1. The appropriate incremental point of the common basic scale;
2. *An additional allowance for academic qualifications;
3. *An additional allowance for a promoted post (i.e. principal, deputy principal, assistant principal, special duties teacher)
4. *Other Special Allowances;
5. *Teachers' Children's Allowance in certain cases.

* Note: These allowances may not be applicable to all teachers.

Common Basic Incremental Scale

Teachers who are:

• 2 year trained start on point 1 of the incremental scale
• 3 year trained start on point 2 of the incremental scale
• 4 year trained start on point 3 of the incremental scale
