All of our online courses are eligible for EPV days* - the more courses you complete, the more EPV days you receive:
*1 online course – 3 EPV days
*2 online courses – 4 EPV days
*3 online courses – 5 EPV days
Note the following, taken from Department of Education note 0008/2020:
4.1
Substitute Cover for EPV Leave:
i.
Currently, substitute cover is not paid by the Department for EPV Leave.
ii. For the
2020/21 school year, the Department/ ETB will provide substitute cover for the
first day of EPV Leave taken by a teacher in the school year.
iii.
Subsequent EPV Leave may be taken only where the effect on the school’s
operation, including its COVID-19 Response Plan, is minimal and where this can
be enabled without disruption to the teaching of the class and without the
division of the class group between other classes.
iv. For the
avoidance of doubt, substitute cover will not be provided by the Department/ETB
beyond the first day of EPV Leave taken by the teacher in the 2020/21 school
year.
4.2
Carryover of EPV Leave:
i. Where,
due to the provisions above, it is not possible for a teacher to take their
total EPV Leave during the 2020/21 school year, accumulated untaken EPV Leave
will be carried over to be taken in the 2021/22 school year.
ii. This
carryover will be subject to an individual teacher having a maximum EPV Leave
entitlement in the 2021/22 school year of 5 days.
