 Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2014 10:46 am Post subject: Overtime pay |
 |
|
Os there anyone on the board who has had to work overtime in a position? If so, was it mandatory or optional? How is overtime typically paid in SA, after 40 or 48 hours, or by working more than your specified hours per day? Is there a set percentage for overtime pay that you might know ? Any one with any knowledge, i look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks in advance. |

Have you ever been a teacher or involved in education at all? This question really makes me wonder about your motivations to be here.
BUT... teachers are paid to teach. While you may be required to be on-site all day, the work is in the classroom. Contracts specify how many contact hours are required (15-25?) and at what point and how much one gets paid for it... eventually... if they remember... or bother...
From that point, every employer will vary. I have no idea what you even mean by this:

| The usual deal at colleges and universities is that you gave 20 or 25 hours "Class Contact", ie teaching. More than that should be paid extra. Rates vary. 100 SAR an hour or better. Less than that is exploitation. Contracts usually specify how many hours you will teach. I have never heard of anyone anywhere teaching 48 hours a week. |

There was a "short person" in Abu Dhabi who scheduled me ONCE for a 60-hour week...which involved a split shift...to try to impress his Emirati masters that he could cover the schedule with an insufficient number of teachers.
In the end...
...it didn't work out the way he had planned...  |

It would be specified in your particular contract's terms and conditions. |

Berlitz generally claims that their teachers have no prep, and squeeze all possible hours out of them on that basis. It's true in the Berlitz branches I know of; just show up and open their book to the correct page. Mind-numbing stuff, but it works for some people.
Anyway, difficult to compare method schools like Berlitz with any other type of teaching context. Apples and oranges. |

| I didn't even have to read further than the subject line to guess that this was another cry for information from the ever hungry Yasuke... give and take my friend. I've given enough. I now await your contribution... |
