The period of notice required to terminate an employee's contract of
employment is outlined on page 12-A-1. Notice should be given in writing.
Teachers
Notice of termination of appointment
The appointment may be terminated on either side by notice or in writing
given not later than the last day of term. The notice will expire at the end of
the current terminal period.
Temporary teachers in locally managed County schools have an entitlement
to make representations and a right of appeal to governors in certain
circumstances where it is proposed to terminate the contract before its natural
end date. There are separate guidelines that may be adapted by schools for
the consideration of such representations. Contact the Education and Culture
Personnel Section for further information.
If the performance of the teacher is viewed as unsatisfactory during the first
13 weeks of service, the Authority/School may terminate the engagement
without notice. This provision does not, however, dispense with the need to
allow teachers in locally managed County schools to make representations
and have the right of appeal prior to the decision to terminate the contract
being finalised.
