Superintending 2018

Millem

Couldn’t find the old thread. The forms are online. Mileage and subsistence changes are in.
Based on last year I worked out I will be down €64 in mileage and up 40c for a short day.

Am I dreaming in thinking there will be no pension levy applied for work with sec in 2018.

I haven’t received my filled in form yet.

The pension levy is gone for SEC work from 2019 as far as I know.

The SEC can go and do things to themselves that I won’t mention here.

Did I miss the application for practical examiners? All the info seems to be for last year

No! There was a problem with their forms apparently. They are hoping to issue them next week

Was just talking to an examiner who was in contact with SEC today. Forms to be issued in the coming days seems to be the word on the street. Closing date for return is 21st December.

Pension levy is gone as far as I know, but the mileage rates have been cut, what they give with one hand they take with the other.

Are you sure the pension levy is gone? I was sure that didn't kick-in until 2019?

I’ll not be returning my superintending letter. I hope they can’t get enough Super Nintendo Charmers this year.

Be careful what you wish for ... I can see the day when supervising will be written into your contract!!

I'm very tempted to do the same. There's zero reward in any of that work for me anymore.

Bananaleaf

I didn't get in on this during the good times when the money was better, but I did it last yr for first time ever, and compared to the working school week and all that has to be done - this was the easiest money I ever earned in my life! Unless they start charging me to do it, I doubt I'll ever give it up

wolfyboy555

how much would you roughly get after tax for supervising? Weighing up if I should do it this year or not?

Depends how many days you get and what your tax setup is.
Some people get as little as five days. You'd could almost owe them money back out of the advance.

I nearly thought that would happen to me! But no, for 5 days work, after tax I got about €750. It's not millions, but for 5 days of doing pretty much feck all, it's brilliant

My ETB is demanding that the letter be sent to them for verification....another feather in the bow for bureaucracy!

That's because Memo V7 gave VEC teachers six week's holidays. They have to confirm you are available at that time. Some people would not be free despite the 'teachers get ten month's holidays' brigade.

I got this from a school I was day to day subbing in. I was very annoyed because there was no way that it would have any impact on the ETB as I wasn't a full time employee. Then I called in to another ETB school and they stamped it, and I wasn't even working there.

It's one of those daft hangovers from years ago, but you just know there would be someone in Athlone would send it back if unstamped.

Yeah my ETB wants forms sent to them to stamp and they say they will forward it on to SEC for me. Very kind of them and all, but, with no letter of receipt from SEC, how do I know that my ETB didn't forget to send in my form or even lose it?

pandoraj09

Take a photocopy of the stamped form and send that off yourself too??

I have to post it to them to get stamped. They don't post it back to me, they just send it on for me.

Postgrad10

You have to be very trustworthy of your ETB. Ask them to send you a photocopy the same day they post it to the SEC

I can't see any reason why you couldn't. I presume you have a TC number.

Forms are on examinations.ie under recruitment.

I got my form in the post yesterday. Very short window on closing date!!

Fingers crossed pension levy is gone.

Got mine stamped running out the door of school to head west for Christmas visit. Going to get it in the post tomorrow morning

I see a lot of exams are gone digital this year, I know this is slightly off topic, but how did people find it marking online last year?

I've corrected using this system for the past two years and I have to say it's brilliant. Saves a lot of time and don't have to make post office runs or worry about result sheets as it's all done for you. I'm not going to give anymore information here due to SEC charter etc. ... feel free PM for more info.

Just a general q re the digital marking....

Do you know what the slowest acceptable broadband for it would be, or will it work even on the worst connection? I'm thinking of a friend of mine who has trouble receiving even emails in the rural area in which she lives.

I have poor broadband and that caused a few problems but I got though it. If he/she has any bit of phone coverage on mobile connect to it. I did this and it worked fine. You're only viewing the script, not downloading.

Has anyone received their appointment letter for superintending yet? I got a text message in Feb saying I’d get my appointment letter in late March and we are into April now and still nothing.

no nothing here

Lanig123

Still awaiting mine too

shannongreen

I haven't received mine either and I received the same text

Bananaleaf

I'm pretty sure it is always the final week of May when you get the appointment letter. If by appoinment letter you mean the one telling you where you are? I can't remember how many letters we get. But no, I've gotten nothing

Postgrad10

The first text said we'd get an appointment letter by late March and the second said that the previous was a mistake and we'd hear if we'd get a letter updating our status.

shannongreen

Both texts mentioned getting a letter in March, the updated text said we'd get a letter in March advising us of our status. It would be nice to know!
I received my invitation for correcting state exams but that was a very vague letter! I'm new to all this.

Postgrad10

Be prepared for similar for superintending. My friend didn't get it last year and it didn't say that she was rejected only that they might still need her!! You get another letter the week before the exams start telling you which school you are in but it doesn't tell you how long for. You don't really know until you collect the box from distribution and see what packets you have.

shannongreen

Ah it's so hard to plan your summer! Not a mind budget for it!

GemmaLouise

I haven’t received a letter yet. I’m hoping I will next week 🀞

pandoraj09

Nothing here either. I'd say next week.

Superintendent offers in today's post. Have to fill in an acceptance form by April 13th.

rainbowtrout

So I got a rejection letter this morning. Well I have the offer of being put on the reserve panel. I'm teaching 17 years, have corrected for all of those years, have done practicals for 15 of those years, and despite there being a shortage every year, I'm still only offered the reserve panel. Thanks, but no thanks.


Also I notice the envelopes for returning acceptance/refusal for superintending are not prepaid like the practicals.

Yeah, it really makes you wonder about all these supposed shortages, doesn't it?
