This is my first thread but I am a long time lurker. I have just completed a maternity leave cover post at a Primary school. I finished on the 12th February 2016 which was the day of the start of half term. My offer letter did state these dates but I assumed these were the dates I would need to be in work. I have done several shorter term posts and have always been paid for the holidays including the whole of last summer for just working one term.
Anyway I did well there. There were no problems as far as I am aware. I got my pay slip this morning and I have not been paid for half term. It is not a mistake I have checked. Has anyone else experienced working till the last day of term and not being paid in the holidays? I was pro rata so not on supply terms. I have spoken to my union who say this is unusual but is actually a gentlemen's agreement but as I am currently not working this will leave me very short and make things quite difficult for me. Anyway, how usual is this and is there anything I can do about it? Thank you in advance for any advice.
