| If I have already received an attendance allowance from the first semester 2008 session, can I apply for the second semester allowance? |
Sessional staff are only entitled to receive the attendance allowance once a (calendar) year. |
| Do I have to attend the full day to receive the attendance allowance? |
To be eligible to receive the payment, Sessional Staff must attend the full session. Payment claim forms are not handed out to staff until the evaluation session at the end of the program. Forms must be completed and handed back into TALSS staff on the same day. Forms handed in after the date will not be accepted. |
| How long does it take to receive the attendance allowance? |
Due to the large volume of payment claim forms to process, it may take 2 weeks to complete and submit to the Payroll Office. Once your payment details have be submitted, your payment will be processed and banked into your nominated account (as per your employee details) in the next fortnightly pay cycle. The complete process cycle can be between 2-4 weeks. If you do not complete the payment claim form correctly, delays in payment process will occur. Staff who do not have a current appointment or new staff members should also expect some minor delays. Staff must have an appointment date that includes the SAP program session dates to be eligible for payment. |
