Common use of WORKING TIME AND PLACE Clause in Contracts

WORKING TIME AND PLACE. The national agreement states, “If a teacher is not required to be on the school premises for certain duties, for example preparation and correction, these may be undertaken at a time and place of the teacher's own choosing. Teachers will be expected to notify the appropriate line manager of their intention in this respect”. This local agreement recognises that not all tasks require the teacher to be on the school premises. Teachers may undertake such tasks at a time and place of their choosing, provided that they are not required by the school at these times. All teachers have a contractual obligation to make themselves available for work each day, and they must follow the agreed school procedures and protocols for being off-site when they are not required in school. Where it has previously been agreed by the Head Teacher (or his/her nominee) that teachers are not required for duty in the school, they need not report for duty in school.
