Salary Components

Salary is generally comprised of Basic salary + Role allowance (if applicable)

Basic Salary

The basic salary of an early childhood teacher is the fixed amount paid for their core duties, such as teaching and child care, before any additional allowances or bonuses. Salaries typically vary based on factors like experience and qualifications. The basic salary serves as the foundation for compensation, with potential for growth through increments, role allowances, and performance-based bonuses.

Role Allowance

A role allowance is an additional payment added to an employee's base salary for taking on specific responsibilities beyond their standard duties. These roles might include positions such as Lead Teacher, Curriculum Head, or Centre Leader, where the employee has added leadership, administrative, or specialized duties. Role allowances are designed to recognize the extra workload and responsibilities associated with these positions, and the amount varies depending on the role and level of responsibility.
