Hello, I am trying to get clarity on government circulars. As I dont work in my HR dept, no official body (incl DOES) will respond to my queries. I am consistently referred back to my HR dept., who do not seem to have the info.
Could anyone tell me:
1. if Department of Education circulars are considered guidelines or are employers legally bound by them?
2. Also, can circulars be backdated or is their relevance only from date of issue? Specifically, I refer to circular 12/2023 section 3.4 on salary payment as a result of employer delays in notifying OHP appointments.
3. Dual duties and dual duties allowances were prioritised, under a national review of allowances, for elimination in 2016....has this happened yet.
4. Do the allowances regulations/circulars pertaining to the ETBs, govern the IOTs/Technological Universities?
If you can throw light on any of above I would appreciate it. They are very specific so
Thanking you
