ERS overview 

School | kura can submit online requests for Additional Relief Teacher Funding (ARTF) sick leave  in ERS. 

ARTF funding applications are processed electronically. ERS users can attach information to ARTF requests, track the status of the request and view payment notices online. 

Playgroups use ERS to make operational funding requests and see an overall view of all the funding paid to them, including the outcomes of any support grant payments. 

Who should be using the ERS? 

All schools, kura and playgroups can use the ERS.  

Typically, an administrator in these organisations will make ARTF requests by logging into the ERS. An approver will log in to submit them. If you have more than one organisation that you are an administrator or approver for, you will need to log into the ERS separately for each one.
