Questions and changes:
** Your school payroll administrator is your first port of call for questions about your payslip or your pay. They have a lot of information and can access Novopay for answers on anything they don’t already have.
** If you have any questions about your deductions, your payroll administrator will also be able to help you with this. However, they do not have access to your third-party deductions. If you want them to look into your deductions for you, be sure to provide a copy of your payslip.
** If any of your personal details are incorrect, please ask your payroll administrator to update them in Novopay.
Rounding:
Novopay rounds each component of your pay separately, before adding the totals.
Receiving your payslip:
Payslips are sent on the Tuesday before pay day.

** If you need a payslip re-sent to you, please complete the Payroll resend request form on the Novopay website or ask your payroll administrator.
** To change your email address, please see your school’s payroll administrator.
Holiday pay calculations:
Terminating employees:
Permanent and fixed term teachers:
Holiday pay is calculated through to 27 Jan 2015 and paid as a lump sum. If the teacher started after 7 Feb 2014, the lump sum is calculated at 30% of days worked. If the teacher’s hours have changed during the year, the holiday pay will be proportioned based on the number of days paid at each FTTE, taking into account the holiday pay paid during term vacations. If a permanent teacher’s FTTE at pay period 19 is lower than it was at any point during the year, the holiday pay is proportioned based on the number of days paid at each FTTE, taking into account the holiday pay already paid during term vacations. If their FTTE at pay period 19 is higher than it was at all points during the year, their holiday pay is paid at the FTTE they are on at pay period 19
Term-time only non-teacher:
If the employee’s termination date is on or after 1 Dec 2014, holiday pay is made up of: – paid annual leave of 20, 23 or 25 days (based on service), plus – a % of gross earnings (8%, 9.2% or 10% based on service) for the period from 1 Dec 2014 to the termination date. Holiday pay is calculated as a % of gross earnings (8%, 9.2% or 10%) if the employee: – has a termination date prior to 1 Dec 2014, or – started more than 10 working days after the school start date in 2014, or – took leave without pay for more than five consecutive working days during the year. If any annual leave has been taken during the year, it will be deducted from the holiday pay being paid. Term-time only non-teaching employees are paid for the Christmas/New Year public holidays if their termination date is within 10 working days of the school’s last day
52-week non-teacher:
Holiday pay is made up of: – the annual leave balance outstanding from prior entitlement years, plus – the % of gross earnings (8%, 9.2% or 10% based on service) from the last anniversary date to the termination date. If the employee has used all of their previous annual leave entitlement, and has taken annual leave from the current year’s entitlement, the gross value of this annual leave will be deducted from the holiday pay amount.
