Question 167: To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will clarify whether teachers may work a maximum of 25 hours per week; if he will further clarify if a resource or learning support teacher may only work a number of hours per week, whereas a person initially working 15.2 hours per week spread over three days may make up their hours by teaching on a substitute basis for the other two days; if she will further clarify that when the hours are combined it would make 25.2, which 0.2 hours above the maximum rate, even though the teacher is willing to forfeit the 0.2 hours, the primary payroll system is unable to process this and therefore may only pay 20.2 hours; his views on whether this is a disincentive to sub for the extra two days when it would appear they would merely be penalised for doing so; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
