At the time, kindergarten or nursery educators had more than they received, but not primary school teachers. Kindergarten and nursery workers earned more than parents who worked in the Playcentre. The pay parity of kindergarten educators with primary school colleagues came into force in 2002. Teachers working in other ECA departments still have to meet pay parity, although the training requirements and certification standards are the same as for pre-school and primary education. While educators now have a pay parity with primary and secondary teachers, their negotiations have highlighted wage issues across the sector. The agreement gives them the same pay increases and the same standardized pay scales for primary and secondary teachers that were accepted following the May 29 mega-strike. Despite the lack of difference between a nursery school belonging to a free nursery association and a nursery school belonging to a community group and having charitable status, the government currently only helps teachers in „free“ kindergartens in order to have a pay parity with teachers. This means that current kindergarten educators will receive a salary increase of at least 18.5% by July 2021.

In response to the last question, below is described how de-faters are paid in preschools that are parties to the preschool collective agreement. Long-term teachers are paid according to the pay scale and the qualification group. Teachers receive a daily rate of 1/210 (including 12% leave allowance) of the appropriate annual salary or an hourly rate of 1/8 of the daily rate (including 12% of the leave allowance). The rate payable takes into account the qualifications and all previously recognised benefits, provided that the maximum daily rate does not exceed 1/210th of level 8 of the basic salary of teachers (higher than the P1 scale). If, in a given position, an unloaded person was sanitized as a short-term discharge, but the employment lasts more than six weeks, customs clearance becomes a long-term relief from the date on which the employment exceeds that threshold and receives the applicable conditions. Due to such a change in status, there will be no recalculation or collection of rights (including salaries).
