Kāhui Ako Responsibility allowance KAHRW

In Pourato KAHRW payroll code is displayed as Kāhui Ako Teacher (Within School).

The Teachers tab will display Kāhui Ako Within Teacher with 0.00 FTTE for teachers who are coded to the KAHRW payroll code. The total FTTE (e.g. 0.08 per WST released) is included in your staffing entitlement, however the distribution of FTTE for individual teachers is unable to be viewed on the Teachers tab in Pourato.

The Teacher Within School component on Your Entitlement tab includes the total responsibility and non-responsibility Kāhui Ako staffing.

Quarterly Operational Funding

Operational Funding is calculated using the latest Actual Roll information you have submitted. Any adjustments required will be made in the next instalment.

For more information and key dates see:

Resourcing - operational funding and staffing entitlements - Education in New Zealand

Entitlement Staffing

Staffing Entitlement is a summary of all staffing components funded by the Ministry - one of which is Entitlement Staffing.

Entitlement Staffing is supported by GMFS (Guaranteed Minimum Formula Staffing), which means the greater of your provisional guaranteed staffing or the confirmed staffing generated by your 1 March roll is provided for the whole year. 

The other staffing entitlement components are not always roll based and may change throughout the year (e.g. Beginning Teachers Time Allowances).

Banking Staffing reports

Your banking staffing report for a pay period (available on EdPay) may not reconcile with what you are viewing in Pourato depending on when a change to your staffing occurs. This is because the information from Pourato is updated on your banking staffing report once a fortnight, which aligns with the fortnightly payroll information. 

Any changes that occur after the fortnightly update will appear on the next banking staffing report.

For more information see Banking staffing - Education in New Zealand

International Students Levy (ISL) and Export Education Levy (EEL)

For more information see Export Education Levy (EEL) - Education in New Zealand and International Student Levy - Education in New Zealand.

The 'Students' tab will update when a change is made to details of fee-paying international students.
