Operating at term-time

Last updated:

A term-time contract means the employee works only during term time but employment is regarded as continuous throughout the year

Employees will have their salary based on the number of hours worked plus their annual leave which will be paid in equal instalments across the year.  There is a table that shows the number of weeks worked and formula in Appendix 1

Annual leave is calculated against the number of weeks a potential term-time worker
actually works (see Appendix 1)

Term-time working employees must take their annual leave during the school holidays.
