This is sort of a follow on from part time and coming in for meetings.
I work 9 hours a week. I do this over three days but only get paid for the hours I teach ( around an 0.4 ish). The problem is I have a lot of trapped time over those days. More than I work. This has proven to be problem enough when I decide to go out and do my shopping between periods1 and 2 ( when I teach) and periods 7 and 8 ( when I teach again .The time between ( between 10:30 am and 3:00pm) is unpaid and should be mine but I have had run inswith the school over this. However,they have not forced the matter when I explained it was my time and I wanted to go home between lessons.
I digress. This week is activitiesweek. We are all off timetable and allocated to some outdoor activity. In my case I have been put on an activity which is three full days and seem to be used as such. Yet I only teach 9 hours.
The school has not agreed to my colapsing my timetable so that I do nearly two full days but are expecting me to accompany the children to the beach for a whole day out on Wednesday when I only teach for two hours that day. Similarly, tomorrow when I finish officially at 3:00 pm they expect me tostay until4:30 for the activitiesand again on Thursday ( when I would normally go in late but they expect I should go in at 9:00am and work until 4:30. Can they really demand this?
I will not be paid for the extra time. But if I leave/ do not come in outside my normal working, can they discipline me for refusal? ( The DH has suggested they can) and sack me?
