There are no TLR (Teaching and Learning Responsibility) allowances in Jersey. The local equivalent, SAs (Supplementary Allowances), have been included, awarded for leadership responsibilities, pastoral and/or a curriculum responsibility, or for leading on a specific task.   A teacher can be awarded more than one level of SA.  All SA points have been included as the system does not record what the SA point is held for, i.e., whether they hold leadership responsibilities.
