Circulars

The SNCT has the authority to vary pay and conditions of service. Such variations made by collective bargaining are incorporated into contracts of employment. Where agreement has been reached by the SNCT that agreement is issued as a Circular. SNCT Circulars are numbered and are sent to Chief Executives and Directors of Education of all local authorities. Following a recent decision Circulars shall also be sent to LNCT Joint Secretaries.

Letters of Advice

It is open to the SNCT to provide additional advice on the implementation of Circulars. Such advice does not vary conditions of service but is designed to set out the thinking of the SNCT to reduce the potential for misunderstandings at local level or to provide advice on good practice. Letters of advice may be issued by either the Joint Secretaries or Joint Chairs.
