[dctefl]

Thanks for taking the time YTMND. The only part not posted up is this section you mentioned identifying the parties at the beginning:

CONTRACT AGREEMENT

This document is a contractual agreement between the Director, ________ , of ________ with address at ________hereafter referred to as “ Party A “ and the instructor, _______, Passport #________ , hereafter referred to as “ Party B”.

Everything else remains the same.

Could the second hour mentioned ibe about the shift pattern? Shifts are either 2pm-9pm or 3pm-10pm (I've been told I'm on 3pm-10pm), does that improve the contract at all?

Thanks again for taking the time.

[YTMND]

I don't see the logic in how you can prepare better from 2-3 pm than 3-4 pm.

If you go in at 2pm, finish preparing at 2:59 or earlier, then what do you do between 3:00 to 3:59 pm?

If they want 1 hour preparation before classes, then it is 1 hour before classes. No toggling (no "or" statements in the contract).

So, either they say "PREPARATION TIME FOR EMPLOYEE IS 3-4" or no go for me.

[MagicPotion14]
