Part-Time Earnings

Once you have set up annual full-time salary as described, the part-time earnings for a worker with a regular part-time work pattern (assignment category mapped to PTR) are reported in Data Item 27.

This is then calculated using the combined total of the following:

  • Their FTE and prorated earnings whose element rate definition contributors feed the Annual Full-Time Equivalent Salary rate definition.
  • Their non-prorated earnings whose element rate definition contributors feed the Annual Full-Time Non-Prorated Allowances rate definition.

The part-time earnings for supply teachers (where their FTE is 0 and their assignment category is mapped to PTIC) is the same as their actual pensionable pay for the service period. See Set Up Actual Pensionable Pay for Supply Teachers.

If a supply teacher has opted out of the scheme but remains eligible to be in it (and therefore continues to be reported in the MCR), their part-time earnings are based on the Part-Time Irregular Earnings TPS and Part-Time Irregular Earnings TPS Retroactive balances).

Additional Hours Worked

Part-time earnings include payments for additional hours worked by part-time teachers on a regular contract when the hours are worked under the same contract and job role. To create additional hours elements, follow the steps for creating hours * rate overtime elements (see: Overtime Element) and feed the Pensionable Additional Hours TPS and Pensionable Additional Hours TPS Retroactive balances with them.
