Part timer

[Goodwitch9]

I teach part time (PPA cover) in a primary school. I'm clinically vulnerable and my GP supports me wanting to work at home. Since they announced the return to school I seem to be getting asked to do more and more. Google meets on days I don't work. Setting work ditto. Marking for a member of SLT. Gathering resources for a subject I am not coordinator of. Am feeling very stressed and put-upon. Don't want to be unhelpful but I am part time for a reason. Advice please!

I would say that you should be working the days you usually work.

Can you have an email auto-response that says "I work Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays only. I will reply to your email when I am next available for work" or something, and turn it on when you're not supposed to be working?

I work part-time and it's in my email signature that I work on those days only. I always tell parents and colleagues that I will do x, y, z on my next day in, and say if it's urgent can I direct it elsewhere to be done? Just be firm, or they will continue to assume you're okay with it.

I am astounded SLT are asking you to mark their work, though, that's not on in my book!

Really not on imho! I'm also part time PPA cover in a primary school and even though I check and respond to emails on my 2 non-working days, that is purely my choice. It definitely isn't expected by my SLT and ufo was asked to come on those days (I have been before), I just say I'm afraid I can't as I have childcare duties.
