I heard that if you teach 40 consecutive days you go salary, but I have not heard my district mention this. I gont my position letter to sign but it only mentions my daily rate. I was going to talk to my director, but I feel stupid knowing nothing concrete.

Thank you!

Are you hired as a permanent sub? Or are you replacing one person for an extended time?

I am not sure what your situation is, but I would say to contact your union rep and talk with them.

Usually your rate will only go up if you are in for someone for 40 consecutive days. Is there another teacher you can ask - usually teachers who have been in your situation know. Or you can play dumb and call the secretary to find out. I don't think they would mind if you asked.

I was hired as a permenant sub,,,,because 2 techers in the department (2 different schools) will be going out on maternity leave. So now I have been in for one teacher, and then in march I will go to the other school.
I got a letter stating I was hired from (dates) for permenant sub at high school. However the dates do not match when and where I will be.
I don't even know the union rep, no one's told me anything.

Every disrtict is different.

Yes, you need to speak with a building union rep. Have all of your paperwork with you.

I know my district doesn't pay any benefits to permanent subs, even after 40 daysChat Icon

I have no paperwork, beside that letter, the school protocols and handbook they gave me, and my teachers retirement booklet.

I don't want benefits, but to go salary would be nice.

How do I find out who my union rep is?

i would ask another teacher... or even just call the secretary at the school and tell them you are a new hire and just want to know who the union rep is... the union rep should be able to answer your questions and help you out Chat Icon
