Term time only backpay frequently asked questions

The following question and answer sheet is to be used as a guide for dealing with term time only support staff pay queries. 

ACAS Webinars

There will be further ACAS webinars held for staff who received personal offer letters but could not attend any in May or the one on 2 June 2021 for whatever reasons. These webinars will be held primarily for current staff who claimed to ACAS in 2021, Leavers and those who are at schools which were/are external payroll providers.

These are likely to be held in some time this autumn with final webinars taking place by the end of 2021.

For those staff who do attend an ACAS webinar, please ensure you take your time inputting the correct information on the ACAS form as stated below:

  1. Your full name (including other names or surnames you have gone by since 1 January 2015 until now)
  2. Personal email address (so we can send your COT3 to you outside of term time)
  3. ACAS reference number (if unsure, see the answer to question 9 above)
  4. School name

If any of the above categories are incorrect or blank as we process the lists from ACAS and send out COT3s unfortunately your name will go to the back of the list as we will have to take steps to identify these incorrect/missing pieces of information and you will be processed at the end.

Please use the links below to register for a presentation.
