Full time teachers and overtime

Hi all

For some time now, this is something I've been unclear about and would be interested to know other people's views.  When reviewing the Burgundy Book and STPCD, nothing is clear about whether full time teachers can claim overtime but from what I read, i believe that full time teachers can be paid overtime, as long as it is outside of directed time and voluntary?

Previously, our Trust has issued an additional contract but this is difficult to manage and I wondered how everyone else gets around this.

Is something stated in your pay policy?

Thank you

  • Morning Laura, apologies for coming to this late. Yes teachers can be paid for additional out of school hours learning activities. (STPCD 69) .

    In a previous employment we agreed a set hourly rate with staff / unions and included that in our pay policy, in current employment the LA have a policy of paying the current individual hourly rate, as no revision exists in the pay policy (they rely on para 69 as their benchmark).
