how much is the interac first pay? does it get paid after 6 weeks or 8 weeks? and is it partial? and as it gets paid in arrears do you get paid double at the end of the year?

It depends on when exactly you start your first day of work and yes, first and last contract months are pro-rata. But you should know that since it was in the employment agreement you signed and sent back when you accepted.

You get paid at the end of the following month which is why they say 6-8 weeks (not 6 or 8 weeks as you said). If you start half way through the month, it will be 6 weeks until your first pay day but you'll only be receiving half pay. Start at the beginning and you'll be waiting closer to 8 weeks but you will receive closer to full pay. You will be paid from start date on the contract you will sign when you get here, which you can guarentee will be your first full school day (you may even be in the classroom on this day - so have a really interesting 50 min self intro ready just incase your school(s) put you on the spot).

If you are offered and accept a re-sign after the end of the contract in March (contracts always run until the end of the academic year regardless of when you start), you'll get paid as per normal receiving March pay at the end of April. I don't know how it works if you are not re-signing.

I heard a rumor, mind you that it's only a rumor, that Interac teachers won't be paid next month.

Take your pay 230,000 or whatever and find out how many work days you had in your first month. Then take that number and divide it by how many potential work days there are in the month. Take that number, prolly .7123 and times that by your normal payrate.

My first paycheck was like 70,000 for April
