Recording and removing staff agreements

An agreement records a teacher accepting less than their entitlement. Record the reason and the compensation, and remove it as soon as it is no longer needed.

What an agreement is

An agreement records that a named teacher has accepted an entitlement below the standard one, why, and what they received in return. It is a record you should be comfortable showing that teacher, and anyone who asks about it later.

  • The original and the agreed figure are both stored, so the reduction is always visible.
  • Compensation is recorded explicitly, including when there was none.
  • The reason is stored in full and appears wherever the agreement does.

Removing one

  1. 01Open the Final Check page.
  2. 02Find the staff agreements section.
  3. 03Remove the agreement and confirm when prompted.
  4. 04Choose "Run check again" to confirm the timetable still builds with the entitlement restored.

Before you record a new one

Check that the spare-time switch is on and that your specialist program cannot supply the release. If Bell Path suggested an agreement before suggesting the switch, tell us.
