As SIMS requires complete contract information to identify these post holders and to record reasons for and destinations after leaving, it is assumed that payroll providers will collect this information outside of SIMS. Please refer to communications from your payroll provider for further guidance.

If the school pays through the cheque book for teaching staff who have worked (or will work) at the school continuously for 28 days or more since 1st September 2022 (whether full time or part time), these staff will need to be included in the partial return by entering a Service Agreement to SIMS. Service Agreements are not required for support staff. Please click here for more information.
