The Working Week. 2.1 The breakdown of the 35 hour working week for an un-promoted full-time teacher is as follows:
(i) Maximum class contact time = 22.5 hours (18.5 hours for probationers on the Teacher Induction Scheme) (ii) Personal preparation and correction time = 7.5 hours
(iii) Remaining time /collegiate activities = 5 hours Promoted teachers have a management time allowance which reduces their class contact time. Pro-rata arrangements apply to teachers who are contracted to work less than the full 35 hour working week.
2.2 Schools are required to reach agreement on the operation of the 35- hour week. This LNCT agreement provides a framework for school based planning on the use of time to meet local circumstances.
2.3 The SNCT Handbook makes it clear that all tasks which do not require the teacher to be on school premises can be carried out at a time and place of the teacher’s choosing.
2.4 Teachers intending to be out of school during the pupil day must notify their line manager. Schools should agree an efficient mechanism for this.
2.5 In exceptional circumstances, where there is concern for the health and safety and welfare of pupils, all teachers would be expected to remain on duty in order to ensure the safety of all pupils. Such exceptional circumstances would supersede paragraph 2.4.
The Working Week. 7.1 A full-time lecturer will be required to teach for a maximum of 24 hours in a normal working week.
7.2 A lecturer may be required to teach an additional 2 hours at the start of the relevant academic year for a period of up to 7 weeks in total (i.e. a maximum of 26 hours per week).
7.3 A lecturer will not be required to teach additional hours as referred to in 7.2 above if they are responsible for preparing and delivering significant new curriculum provision.
7.4 A lecturer will not normally be expected to teach for more than 10 blocks per week or for more than four consecutive blocks.
7.5 A lecturer may be required to teach up to two evening blocks per week (see also 6.3).
7.6 When a lecturer teaches beyond 6.00 pm, the lecturer will be entitled to take equivalent time off in lieu during the daytime, and within the same week, unless agreement to take it at some other time is reached between the lecturer and the manager. Any agreement must be in writing.
7.7 A lecturer would not be expected to teach for a continuous period of more than three hours without a break. This can only be exceeded in exceptional circumstances, and/or in the case of certain practical subjects, with the prior agreement of the lecturer.
7.8 A full-time lecturer will be entitled to take up to 5 hours per teaching week away from Corporation premises. The timing of these hours will be subject to approval by the line manager.
7.9 Probationary staff in their first year of teaching will be expected to deliver a maximum of 90% of the annualised contract and at least 10% of the contract (one block as defined in clause 6.3) per week will be kept free on the timetable.
7.10 Lecturers who are undertaking a professional teaching qualification at the request of the college will be expected to deliver a maximum of 90% of the annualised contract and at least 10% of the contract (one block as defined in clause 6.3) per week will be kept free on the timetable. This time is to be used to support the achievement of the qualification.
7.11 Total remission as set out in clauses 7.9 and 7.10 cannot exceed 10% in any one year.
The Working Week. The Council will harmonise on a 35 hour week with effect from 1 January 2008. These ordinary hours may be worked on any consecutive days in the week, Monday to Sunday inclusive, subject to the following: • Ordinary hours are to be worked between 7:00am and 8:00pm negotiated with a view to meet the needs and demands of the service and the staff allocations available. • The ordinary hours of rostered work will not exceed 7 hours on any one day. • The number of days worked in a seven day cycle will not normally exceed five. (i.e. staff will be entitled to two consecutive days off therefore will not be rostered to work on more than 5 consecutive days unless agreed as additional hours of work/overtime/employee preference in accordance with requirements of the service). Employees may negotiate with their manager to start and cease work within those hours prescribed as ordinary hours of work (between 7:00am and 8:00pm) subject to the requirements of the service. Employees may have their starting and ceasing times altered by mutual agreement between the employee and the relevant manager. When negotiating individual working hours, the relevant manager should ensure adequate staffing in their areas of responsibility to enable the work to be carried out effectively and efficiently. The manager should also attempt to meet the non-work needs of the employee. Where there is a proposal to change starting or ceasing times for all employees in a section, the relevant manager should consult with the employees concerned or trade union representatives in order to seek agreement about the new arrangements. Implementation arrangements, a trial period and review process should form part of any agreement. Employees that work on a bank holiday shall receive double time. There shall be no right to additional time off in lieu. Arrangements that apply during the Christmas and New Year period will be published each year.
The Working Week. 7.1 A full-time lecturer will be required to teach for a maximum of 24 hours in a normal working week.
7.2 A lecturer may be required to teach an additional 2 hours at the start of the relevant academic year for a period of up to 7 weeks in total (i.e. a maximum of 26 hours per week).
7.3 For each hour of teaching an allowance of 20 minutes will be allocated for preparation and marking.
7.4 A lecturer will not be required to teach additional hours as referred to in 7.2 above if they are responsible for preparing and delivering significant new curriculum provision.
7.5 A lecturer will not normally be expected to teach for more than 10 blocks per week or for more than four consecutive blocks.
7.6 A lecturer may be required to teach up to two evening blocks per week (see also 6.3).
7.7 When a lecturer teaches beyond 6.00 pm, the lecturer will be entitled to take equivalent time off in lieu during the daytime, and within the same week, unless agreement to take it at some other time is reached between the lecturer and the manager. Any agreement must be in writing.
7.8 A lecturer would not be expected to teach for a continuous period of more than three hours without a break. This can only be exceeded in exceptional circumstances, and/or in the case of certain practical subjects, with the prior agreement of the lecturer.
7.9 A full-time lecturer will be entitled to take up to 5 hours per teaching week away from Corporation premises. The timing of these hours will be subject to approval by the line manager.
The Working Week. (i) A regular working week shall be Monday to Saturday inclusive.
(ii) Sunday work shall be paid at double time and worked by mutual agreement, and shall not be included in the minimum requirements of guaranteed weeks as set out in Section 3, Clause 3 (a).
(iii) If the day after Christmas Day should fall on a Saturday, or New Year’s Day should fall on a Saturday, the Musician shall be paid at double time.
The Working Week. 12.1 The working week is from Sunday to Saturday. Wages shall be paid into the employee’s bank/ building society account the following Friday for hours worked up to midnight Saturday the previous week. A record of employee’s hours will be kept by the Venue Stage Manager or Head of Department. These should be handed in no later than 12 Noon on Sunday of each week. These timesheets are then authorised by the Head of Technical for payment. EIFS does not accept responsibility for late payments arising out of delays in handing in timesheets or tax and National Insurance information. 12.2 A maximum of 39 hours between 9am and 11pm, Monday to Friday. On any day on which an employee is called, at least one call for duty shall be payable for not less than four hours.
The Working Week. 2.1 The National Agreement states, “The individual and collective work of teachers should be capable of being undertaken within the 35-hour working week” and accordingly there should be no aggregation of working hours over a period longer than a week.
2.2 Each full-time teacher is entitled to a minimum of 7½ hours personal allowance for preparation and correction. Teachers exercise their professional autonomy in relation to these hours.
2.3 The following table summarises the division of the 35-hour week into three categories. Both the class contact of 22½ hours and the collegiate time of 5 hours give the maximum in any one week and there should be no aggregation of either time over a period longer than a week: Maximum Class Contact Minimum Personal Allowance Collegiate Time All Sectors 22½ 7½ 5
2.4 The variation in the length of the pupil week and non-class contact time is indicated in the following table: Pupil Week Maximum Class Contact Non-Contact Time Primary 25 22½ 2½ Secondary 27½ 22½ 5
2.5 Where a teacher has class contact of less than 22 ½ hours, they may be used for internal cover up to the maximum of 22 ½ hours except where external absence cover should be provided. No teacher should be asked to take classes beyond the maximum class contact of 22 ½ hours.
2.6 Travelling time between schools during the school day shall be regarded as pupil contact time except during the midday break when the teacher shall have a personal break of not less than 40 minutes.
2.7 Managers require time for additional duties outwith teaching and other associated preparation in order to fulfil their broad professional duties. Primary schools receive an allocation of management time in their staffing allowance. The management time for Primary Principal Teachers (network) is 0.2 FTE (0.1 FTE for school and 0.1 FTE for the network). Secondary Principal Teachers Faculty have management time specified in the table below. 1, 2, 3 20 hours 10 minutes 4, 5, 6 18 hours 20 minutes 7 15 hours 35 minutes 8 13 hours 45 minutes For other promoted staff, an allocation of time to carry out their responsibilities within the 35-hour week should be agreed at school level.
2.8 While every effort will be made to protect the management time of promoted teachers, there may be occasions where the needs of the school will take precedence (e.g for unforeseen staff absence).
The Working Week. 2.1 The “Teaching for the 21st Century Agreement” states “the individual and collective work of teachers should be capable of being undertaken within the 35 hour working week“ and accordingly there should be no planned aggregation of working hours over any period longer than a week.
2.2 The precise configuration of the 35 hour week will vary from one establishment to another and, it is also recognised that there can be differing workload demands on individual teachers in terms of their specific role (e.
g. validation visits, school preparation for sacraments, folios, specific subjects in secondary schools) and cognisance should be taken off this.
The Working Week. 3.1. The working week will be expressed in terms of timetabled programmed activities. Each programmed activity could involve a combination of duties, for example a xxxx round and patient administration. For full-time consultants the working week will be 10 programmed activities, each with a notional value of 4 hours giving a timetabled working week of 40 hours. These may be programmed as blocks of four hours or in half-units of two hours each. Part-time consultants will agree with their employer the number of programmed activities which will make up their core working week.
3.2. During the hours of 8am to 10pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 1pm Saturday and Sunday and all programmed activities will be paid at plain-time rates.
3.3. The BMA and Health Departments agree that the contract should not involve any element of clocking on and off and overtime payments will not be available. Both sides also recognise that there should be scope for variation, up and down, in the length of individual programmed activities from week to week around the average assessment set out in the job plan.
3.4. Regular and significant differences between a consultant’s timetabled hours and the hours actually worked will need to be discussed as part of job plan reviews either at the planned annual review or an interim job plan review.
The Working Week. The working week is from Sunday to Saturday. Provided the information is received timeously, wages shall be paid into the employee’s bank/ building society account the following Friday for hours worked up to midnight Saturday the previous week. The venues, employees and EIFS shall collaborate to ensure that a record of hours worked is provided to EIFS payroll team in sufficient time to enable payroll to be processed. EIFS does not accept responsibility for late payments arising out of delays in handing in timesheets or tax and National Insurance information.
