Managers and supervisors are reminded that, for the cycle ending 31 March 2008, the Work Plan and Capabilities will each be scored out of 50 to allow for differentiation. The overall score is out of a total of 100.

A total of 50% is required in order to qualify for the 1% pay progression. This will align the scores of office-based educators with those of teachers at schools.
