Request for annual holiday records for secondary principals
From Tuesday 10 September, board chairs at secondary schools will be emailed by the Schools’ Payroll Remediation Programme at the Ministry of Education.
The Programme is asking about schools’ records of principals’ annual holidays and leave for all principals employed under a secondary principal agreement, for the period from 1 March 2010 to 5 July 2024.
Boards will be asked to provide any records they have by 25 October 2024.
These records are held by schools and are not in EdPay, so Education Payroll cannot help with this request.
These records will help inform the calculation of any money owed for secondary principals as part of the Holidays Act 2003 remediation. Any remediation paid will not impact on your school budget.
It’s possible that not all schools will have all records or any historic records available. The first step is to understand what records are available. If you have trouble providing the information requested, please contact the Ministry.
The Ministry has a team available for any questions:
