That's how I'm used to working as well. Sometimes I find my schedule has me down to work on test days, and I'm off on days with a normal class schedule. I usually arrange to have them switched, though.

Getting the schedule on the last day of the month would put me in a position where I can't do that, and I'd have a lot of wasted days. Nothing as drastic as the school being rebuilt, although that would be a lot more interesting than sitting in the teachers room all day...

Yes. "Work schedule" means the days the ALTs are working at whichever schools. Borderlink ALTs get their monthly schedule on the last day of the month with their payslips.

The schools get the ALTs' work schedules at the start of the year. Why don't the ALTs?

The class schedule would be impossible to arrange so far in advance.


Ah I see. That makes sense, and it's ridiculous they even have to ask for it. Say what you like about the dispatch company I work for, but I get given my school schedule for the entire year at the start of the year. Granted I only work at one school though.
