an equalisation allowance calculated in accordance with Appendix A, clause 8.6.

calculated in accordance with Appendix A, clause 8.7. Where the employee accepts
such an offer the employer of the closing school’s responsibilities under 6.2.12 below
shall be fulfilled. Where the employee does not accept such an offer the provisions of

year or part thereof to a maximum of 30 weeks pay in total.
