Representatives of TUI have met with Department of Education and Skills officials in relation to substitute teachers who have experienced tax credit issues in recent weeks.
The Department has said that it is devoting all available technical resources to resolve the problem as a matter of urgency for those who were impacted. The Department has worked with Revenue to develop and implement a solution for those affected. Refunds have been paid to some of the teachers affected and other teachers who have been affected will receive refunds later this month.
TUI has made clear that in many cases, those substitute teachers affected were already struggling to make ends meet on low incomes. It is completely unacceptable that they should suffer as a result of an avoidable administrative error.
Second level substitute teachers with queries on their salary payments can forward them to PPPayroll@education.gov.ie.
