I got paid about 200,000 less than usual this month. My co-teacher said she would check with admin. I don't pay taxes. Just wondering if there's something I don't know.

Well thank you for that Captain Obvious. Very Happy 200k is most certainly a lot more than 50k but I thought it was possible that the OP might be being made to pay back taxes for the whole year which was the case in my situation (which actually was a bit more than 200k).

I guess the only way to know for sure is ask the admin.

You should get a monthly pay slip. Chances are instead of taking about 20,000 per month they just took about 200,000 off at one time.

Maybe they didn't pay your travel allowance, your rural allowance, or your extra school pay because you were not teaching last month.

I do not know your situation but I lost my travel allowance for jan because I was away.

What is this travel allowance? (How far do you have to travel to get to your school?) I've never heard of it on top of the rural allowance and extra school pay.

my co-teacher just told me it was because i owed back national pension pay. she said it was because i paid 2 months worth of national pension. but i only got about 1800 deposited and i make 2200 before deductions, so it may even be more than 200,000 that's missing. i swear, i used to get those pay slips too and now i don't anymore. i asked her for one, so we'll see.

You may have had your multiple school allowance stopped for a month or two, assuming of course you get a multiple school allowance that is. Mine was stopped in January.
