Part-time staff on school trip

[smugmumofboys]

I'll try to keep this vague. If you teach part-time and you go on a trip (UK or overseas) and this falls on a day, or part day, on which you usually don't work, does your school pay you?

I'm not talking about weekends or evenings as nobody gets paid for these.

I work in a private school and don't get anything extra for going on trips or INSET days. This is rather annoying when we have 2 INSET days at the beginning of every term which are never on my teaching days. This also involves paying for extra child care too as the children aren't back then either.
I do find as a part time teacher you end up being expected to do so much extra stuff in your own time. If you ever complain then it looks like you are the unreasonable one! (And you don't get thank you cards or verbal thanks at the end of term either).

I agree goldenlilies. The 'we must be fair to full-time staff' line is trotted out so often that I think it's at the expense of fairness to part-timers.

In short no

No. Before I left the profession, we were expected to do school trips on our day off. We didn't get extra pay or time off in lieu.
