Uncertainty remains over whether teachers will be paid for January 5 after the government closed all schools due to severe ice.
The issue was raised in Keys by MHKs who highlighted a government staff briefing stating workers who remained at home would not be paid.
Members asked the minister to provide reassurance that teachers would receive normal pay as the closure was not their fault.
In response, Education Minister Daphne Caine said the department was aware of the issue but could not provide a definitive answer.
She said: “The department met with head teachers last week and clarified that we are continuing to liaise with central HR as the Department chose to close the schools, and we will confirm the position once known.”
