Where schools are not the workers’ direct employer
Schools are advised to refer to all parts of the Procurement Policy Note 02/20 – supplier relief due to COVID-19’ (PPN 02/20) and Procurement Policy Note 04/20 – Recovery and Transition from COVID-19 (PPN 04/20), which provides guidance for public bodies on payment of their suppliers for the purposes of ensuring the continuity of critical service during and after the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
Where schools have agency workers on live assignments who can continue to work, they should continue to be paid in the usual way.
Where schools have agency workers on live assignments who cannot continue to work due to coronavirus (COVID-19), schools and agencies should refer to the guidance set out in Procurement Policy Note 02/20: supplier relief due to coronavirus (COVID-19) - Contingent workers impacted by COVID-19. This guidance has been extended under PPN 04/20. The guidance covers the length of existing live assignments up to the end date that had been previously agreed. It does not require these assignments to be extended further if the resource will not be required.
