Some supply teachers received the wrong pay in a government blunder.

The Office of Human Resources has now sent a letter to some of them about the error.

The standard ’overpayment letter’ is sent out in such circumstances by the OHR team.

The OHR said there was an issue with the upload for supply teachers in June’s pay that led to May’s pay being duplicated in June, instead of processing the hours due for June. This has led to some individuals being overpaid and some underpaid.

The Office of Human Resources’ payroll team apologised for this error and any confusion caused.

They are in the process of contacting any affected individuals to arrange either additional payment or recovery of overpayment where necessary.
