Interviews and Employees Rights

[Pheebs]

Heh I have already mentioned it and I couldn't pull a sicky/go awol without an immense amount of guilt anyway! I'm too honest

I need the full days off as the interviews are in London - and I'm in Exeter Getting there would be troublesome!

Pickys just come in and I explained it a bit to him. He's very angry as they admitted to me they wouldn't incur any loss of money to themselves etc in my Teaching Assistant role but there might be problems with me being a tutor (as cover would be required). Currently I am being a tutor without an increase in pay and with an increase of responsibility and work load. I'm waiting to hear from them about changing my contract but they're very reluctant to. Unison are absolutely shocked I'm a tutor and in their words - should be being paid £500 more a month (put up to a level 3 TA).

So yeh... if they blame my tutor I will just say I refuse to do it anymore as they're currently getting me for free on it.

Grrrr!

I have just sent a lengthy email to my head teacher explaining how vitally important these interviews are and how they could potentially set me up for life - they're not for jobs of the same pay/work as currently. I pretty much begged in the email.

fingers crossed it will have worked.
