What does the award variation mean for PTCs travelling on official business?
From February 7, 2005, Schedule 12, Excess Travel and Compensation for Travel on Official Business — TAFE Teachers, was amended to include PTC teachers. For the purposes of travelling compensation, headquarters is defined as the college/campus where the major part of the teacher’s approved program is performed. PTC teachers often have separate engagements in different teaching sections across any one Institute. However, if a PTC teacher has more than one engagement within a section supervised by one head teacher across more than one college/campus then the headquarters is that engagement where the most hours are taught and travelling compensation must be paid. Additionally, when PTCs are required as part of their approved program to travel to businesses for teaching, workplace training and workplace assessment, travelling compensation must be paid.
