teachers?any info/advice about going bk part time?

[allchik]

Hi,I know I will need to contact HR about this,but thought id ask u too!
Im a sec school teacher on mps 5 with a tlr (which was stripped last yr but pay protected for 2 more thats why Im counting it for now!) my net monthly is approx 2000... I am hoping to go bk either 3 or 4 days a wk n wondered how it would wrk with pay,is it as simple as taking off 1 or 2 5ths or would it be more because of paying less tax???
Also,do u think I would be likey to lose my tlr?

Also if anyone has any advice on anything to do with this topic thatd be fab!

Not due till Jan,but want to have a good think! Thankyou x x x

Not a teacher, but you would be better off than simply knocking your bet pay by the no of days you work as less of your income would be taxed. :)

TES website has good advice. There is someone on there called Tafkam who gives good advice about pay.

When I went from f/t to 0.7, I also went down in the tax I paid, so I didn't lose too much, but that was a while ago.

I am ups3 and work 0.7 (4 mornings, 3 afternoons) and bring home approx 1500 if that's any help.

Yes agree with two kids google tes, take home pay calculator it will work it all out for you. I was on roughly £1900 too for 5 days and take home around £1300 for 3 days

Its really good being a part time teacher. My life has changed completely. I was working ft from when my son was 5 months and I have just dropped to pt since September and it is much better. I really enjoy being at school and I really enjoy being at home. Its been like night and day with how much more I like it.

I work 0.6 and my salary went down by the same proportion. But because I dropped a tax band it wasn't so bad. And in fact my daily rate for the three days is more than before. Its just I do less days.

To supplement my income easily I do a paid duty for the three days I am in school and do exam marking for three weeks. So that adds an extra £4500 per year.

Are you in a union? They are great about going through all that stuff with you I ring mine all the time . I work pt, I'm head of dept but only me and a technician in my subject area so no TLR or dept head time or pay for it. I find working pt hard personally as it's very hard to do the proportion of your hours you should do, I find I do more equivalently for my pay than FT teachers, and I avoid everything extra work wise I can! I go in on my days off for parents evenings (although I'm private so state sector may be different) etc etc. I just get paid the equivalent of FT pay based on how many lessons I'm in for.

I work about 2 days a week and get around £11000 for that, although I do work alot more than 2 days in practical terms of course.

FWIW a little gem - BIL is a HT. He told DH that he loves employing PT workers when compared for FT as he gets more from them for the money he pays them . I feel in my job like this is definitely right.
