Substitute teacher 20 hours a week

Since Sept 08 i have been working in the school and looks like i will be there for the remainder of the year due to the teacher i am filling in for will not return. Is it true that if i am offered a contract for 2009/2010 then i will get my summer pay for June , July and August?

No not exactly, it depends on what type of contract you are on.

More than likely if you are covering for someone who is on maternity leave or something, you are getting paid per hour. This rate of pay also includes 56% holiday pay. Just be aware that, this may mean that you can not receive any unemployment benefit in the summer.

best place to ask is the Dept

Coolio

The academic year starts on Aug 31st so if you get a contract for 09/10 then it's from Aug 31st you get paid from. So basically no summer pay other than what is included in your sub rate. Not sure if you're eligible for jobseeker's benefit over the summer, i'll be trying to get it anyway, all they can say is no!

Hi. I am a fully-qualified American teacher now living in Dublin. I am interested in finding work as a substitute teacher working with students in primary and secondary schools. I think this is a good way to learn more about the Irish educational system rather than become a full-time teacher without knowing much about it. Please advise me on how to go about substitute teaching. Would I have to be fully qualified as a teacher in Ireland to work as a substitute teacher?

It will be very difficult to get subbing at the moment as subbing hours have been almost completely cut by govt. Schools will be trying to give whatever subbing they have to the part time teachers already employed by the school.
