How are half-day working hours usually calculated in schools?

Hi all!

Just a question for anybody working half days. How do they work out the timings?

I am potentially going to be doing a late start and early finish one day and wanted to make sure I wasn't working too much.

Thanks!

In my experience just by the number of hours. I was on a contract at one point that treated mornings and afternoons as equal (both being 0.1) and asked for it to be changed as the mornings were 40 minutes longer than the afternoons so I was being underpaid.
