Support Staff with multiple roles working over 37 hours

Hi everyone, 

I have a question relating to the Green book. We have a member of staff who is employed as a teaching assistant for 30 hours a week, and an MSA for 2.5 hours. They would like to take on the role of minibus driver which is 8.25 hours a week, taking them over 37 hours. How should this be implemented? It seems to me that any hours over the 37 should be paid as overtime but I am not sure. 

Any advice gratefully received.

  • Hi Jo

    Does your contract have a clause regarding multiple duties?

    Under our contracts, each duty is treated separately, however, we have a commitment to work life balance and as a general rule do not allow total contracted hours over the FTE.

    Hi Kimberly,

    Thanks for your response. Our contracts have been inherited from an old HR provider and do not have such a clause. I referred to the Green book which I think says they shouldn't permanently work over the FTE. The problem I have is that the old HR provider has allowed multiple contracts taking staff over the FTE permanently.

    Thanks
