I have come home from work furious because as part of a job share I have just been told that both of us will have to do the same breaktime duties ( I teach)as a full time member of staff.
I've refused - stating that as a job share we work pro rata ( well actually we do a damn sight more - but I REALLY object to the way this has been handled!) only to be told that despite all the paperwork saying that we're a job share, senior management have decided that technically we're not now because I do 3 days and my other half does 3.5. We do this because the school needs extra hours - and we found it helped us too because the overlap helped us to communicate better ( usually doen by e mail) as obviously we share most classes.
I tried to ring the union - but they had shut down for the weekend - so does anyone out there know if a job share can only be 100% of a 'normal' work load - or if, as we do, we share the duties of a normal teacher ( but have an extra 2 classes between us up on the normal number becasue of the extra time we have) - we can still legally be a job share??
I'm not sure I've expressed this very coherently - I'm just so cross and wound up that I'm not sure I'm capable of being coherent!

Can a job-share legally add up to more than 100%?
