Common use of Job Sharing Arrangements Clause in Contracts

Job Sharing Arrangements.

Teachers who are job sharing are entitled to the same terms and conditions of employment as permanent full-time teachers except that salary shall be paid on the appropriate pro-rata basis. Where a teacher who is job sharing resigns or is removed from the position the other teacher shall elect to: Take up the entire full-time position; or Find another sharer acceptable to the employer for the same or a different proportion of time as previously; or Continue in the same proportion of time as previously or, with the agreement of the employer, a different proportion of time, as a permanent part-time teacher.

Where it is proposed to vary the agreed proportions of time in a position the job sharers shall give one month’s notice to the employer of their wish to do so, provided that no changes to such proportions of time shall be made without the consent of the employer. Where the holder of a permanent full-time position wishes to job share that teacher’s position and the employer is satisfied with the job share arrangements, and the teachers are suitable, they shall be appointed without advertising.
