Hi
Mrsosoxo may be going back to work as a supply teacher, if she is paid direct from the school, how does she manage this? Is there any easy ways to make sure tax and NI is calculated and paid correctly, or will she need to manage this herself,
She is potentially only going to work one day a week, so income will be low, and therefore, I doubt she'll earn anywhere near her tax free personal allowance?
If she is employed by the school, I suspect they will operate PAYE for her.
Unusual (even for academies) to pay direct though, normally through borough from what Mrs Dubleyou's friend do.
Ah, my understanding was that a supply teacher would be like a contractor, and would have to invoice the LEA for work done.
Been doing supply for 16 years after 6 in classroom. Direct from school is something I haven't heard of in LEA schools. Normally you claim at the end of the month and get paid at the end of the next through the LEA. All deductions are made including pension. There are options to choose full time or part time contributions.
Alternatively you go through an agency. They of course take a cut so they cost thee school more and you get less. In Gloucestershire, going through the LEA , the daily rate is your mainstream pay scale divided by 195. Gross of course. Some LEAs don't employ supply teachers, its all through an agency although in some cases that may be county owned. Herefordshire do that.
Most school do a mix of things. Agency costs lots more but it means that the school just makes one phone call rather than chasing around.
Cheers, I think I've got the wrong end of the stick on who will be paying my wife, I think you've cleared things up Matt.
Is it worth her making pension contributions? Of course if she works for an academy it might be different. The ones I work for are the same as other schools though. If she has a normal payroll number it just goes on that. If she is new to the county then talk to HR.
