School wages advice.

Thanks that makes sense. I know I'm repeating myself but is any sort of retainer taken from staffs wages during term times to allow them to be paid over the holidays? Sparked marketing no need for you to answer as I can see you are just trolling for an arguement.

She gets paid for 1265 hours of directed time every year in addition to the extra time she judges she needs to fulfill her professional duties, but that presumes an employment period of the full academic year. If she's cut her contract short, she's cut her pay period short, too, and the date she stops being employed in that job is the date she stops being paid. Teachers' pay and terms are pretty generous, but their contracts have some very clear stipulations about how/when they can be ended - if your daughter chose to vary this, and her school was happy to accept that variation, then that's pretty much done and dusted, really. With hindsight, she might have been wise to consult with her union first, or perhaps negotiate not starting her new post until September 1st, that way ensuring she was paid for August.

In the long run, if she's happy in the new job, and it brings her fulfillment and pleasure, well that's what really matters. Nothing worse than being stuck in a job like teaching if it's not what you really want to do.

If you don't want to read someone else's posts on a public forum, you can always 'ignore' that person - if they want to reply to you, as long as they're not being offensive (and I don't think they were, myself) they're at liberty to reply if they wish.

Term time(and any other contract where the time worked is compressed) contracts should have prorata clauses for part year(start end) that take into account the periods worked and how much has been paid so far.

Nobody has said she's a teacher.

How the pay works should be spelt out in the contract.

I would add that there is no law against having one job while on holiday from another and this would have been the wisest course of action. Clearly that is too late now though.

There's reading someone's post that is useful (as yours is in the main) and reading posts off some clown who is only trying to have a go without being helpful in any way shape or form.

Thanks to all who have contributed advice thus far.

What job does she have at the school? Some agency jobs include an extra amount each working day to cover the liability for statutory leave- so she may have already been paid.

In response to the 1265 comments above- if she was a teacher that would only apply if the school followed teachers pay and conditions and many schools have opted out all or in part.

If your daughter has been directly employed for 26 weeks prior to the summer holidays, she will be paid for the whole of the summer holidays.

If not she will be paid till the end of her notice period. If she speaks to the schools business manager or the payroll department they will be able to confirm what pay she is eligible for.

Oh just like it is when someone said, what was it, "pubs out" one time or other when I asked for advice March time when at the start of my lowest, I was only asking just as you have done, I didn't quite come here to be mocked then.


Kettle Pot Black Troll Not Much. Well we're in a free country as you probably thought when making the comment that you did onto me.


No holiday pay or entitlement, well I never.
