I have looked into this matter and I understand that the SNA in question is not working under a contract as a temporary SNA in the school, but rather, is working as a substitute covering the leave absence of a contracted SNA.
Substitute SNAs are paid an hourly rate of €16.44 or a daily rate of €105.23 and are entitled to bank holiday payments if they work 40 hours in the five weeks prior to the bank holiday.
Substitute SNAs are also entitled to 8% holiday pay which is accrued and paid out three times during the year: - at Christmas, Easter and during the summer. It is expected that substitutes would sign on with the Department of Social Protection during school closures.
