What rate do I get paid at for educational release?

I am a part time registrar, should I be paid at my base rate for formal education release?

Under the NTCER, educational release forms part of a registrar’s ordinary pay. Per clause 9.2 of the NTCER:

• Attendance at the training provider’s educational sessions in the registrar’s standard rostered hours must be paid at the base hourly rate (clause 9.2(j));
• Registrars will not be paid for educational release if it occurs on a weekend or after hours, noting “after hours” refers to all time outside the ordinary hours defined by the MBS as 8am–8pm Monday-Friday and 8am-1pm Saturday (clause 9.2(a)); and
• If a registrar is required to attend a session during 8am-8pm Monday-Friday and 8am-1pm Saturday on a day that is not on their usual roster, the training practice will grant the registrar education release as paid time out of the practice on the previous or next rostered day (clause 9.2(g)); and
• A training practice is not obligated to pay a part-time registrar to attend, or accommodate their attendance of, more than the number of hours of out-of-practice education that corresponds with the FTE fraction agreed to in the registrar’s employment contract (clause 9.2(e)).
