    Hello.
    My daughter has been accepted/asked to mark Gaeilge Junior Cert Higher Level papers.
    This will last from June 25-july22.
    Does anyone know how much she will earn? No idea how many papers she will get through or is expected to mark.
    Can we expect approx. 2k for the months work?
    Thanks for reading!

    It's really hard to say. It all depends on how many papers and her own tax arrangements.

    Moving this to the main forum.

    Net? I wouldn't think so but its not my subject so unsure of her rates per script. She'll need to transfer credits if she has them to SEC or she'll be heavily taxed. Although presumably with the new tax modernisation now she won't have to wait till year end to claim overpaid tax back. Her rate per script will be written in her documentation and she'll know when she opens her packets for random sample exactly how many she has. She'll have a fair idea from marks sheets during the conference but there's a small chance some may have dropped to ordinary level so until you actually receive the scripts you won't know
    But as to 2k?
    I correct HL LC and wouldn't get that net. Albeit I've moved onto higher tax rate at this stage

    It depends on the subject, how many papers she gets, and whether or not she's already using all of her tax credits, but 2k net isn't beyond the bounds of possibility. I don't know what the rate is for Gaeilge (Irish) JCHL but when I was examiner for a JCHL subject, I used to come out with around 2k net, working full time.

    Realistically though, only someone who's actually marked Gaeilge (Irish) JCHL recently would be able to give you a fairly good idea. Anyone else is just speculating.
