compulsory overtime

lill

right i know im like a dog with a bone on this, but let me put this in to context for you.

out of the 6 weeks im not contracted to work they have arranged training and "events" for no less than 6 days over 4 weeks, so that only leaves me with 2 full weeks out of a possible 6 to take a holiday in, do you all still think this is reasonable? i wouldn't have minded as much if they had lumped them all together.

But I'm sure you posted that you're only contracted for 39 weeks a year, giving you 13 weeks holiday. So that means that you have 9 weeks in which you're completely free to do what you like.You seem to be changing the facts to suit yourself.

(sigh)

Are they all compulsory?

I haven't taken more than a long weekend off work for about 4 years, never mind a fortnight.

Yes, I know, your contract says term time only, but you do need to get some perspective here.

Yes, you said 39 weeks in post 82.

Also, don't you realise that properly qualified, full time (or fractional) FE Lecturers have to come in to work in the summer break nowadays. All they get is promises of TOIL which there's never time to take anyway. They don't get paid extra for it which you are.

The other weeks are the weeks during half term of which there has been 1 days training on every week so far

yes I do, however they know that when they sign up for the job, you don't take a job teaching because you think your going only work term time, and you know that before you even start training for the job let alone sign the contract

They were trying to say it is yes, where as before its always been an invitation.

more fool you for putting up with it, how is wanting to work to the terms and conditions of my contract getting perspective??

either your all on stupidly high salaries that your cant afford to loose or your all barking mad.
