Do your extra classes get added into your regular pay?

Mine too.

The reason given for it was that if our morning classes get canceled we would lose the extra pay for the afternoon classes (and it screws up their budgets).

This way the classes are semi paid for by the students (low rates) and our pay comes from that so we don't lose out if our morning classes get cancelled AND it doesn't come from the schools general budget.

Because of this we take a small hit on our severance and pensions but we more than make up for it because we always get paid for our afternoon classes even if our morning classes come under 22 per week.

Because the students (well, their parents) are paying the teachers to take those classes. It is a "service" that the school provides.

At the moment my school is offering lots of different after school classes. Some of the instructors are not in-school, like the yoga person. The students sign up for the classes they want and pay. How much? it depends on how many students sign up - but the school cannot charge a student more than a certain amount.

This is how it works at my schools anyway.

Same here. But, make sure you keep on at the admin about your money. It took me ages to get the money for my extra classes from them last semester.

I work at two country schools, I'm not under the EPIK umbrella. My afternoon classes are part of my normal pay. I was told right at the beginning that the students don't have to pay for the after school classes. I didn't know about the overtime thing at the time, so I just nodded yeah (and thought so?).

I only have 12 regular morning classes a week though.
