Part time

Hi all. Well, I changed my application files...like you all said...and I got an e-mail the next day! The problem is that it's part-time. I CAN'T take a part-time job. Do I just ignore it, or is there any benefit to e-mailing the principal to let them know that I'm interested if another opening comes up that would make it a full-time job?

haha Ah, OK. You could just ignore it without likely consequences then. Agree that you should run the numbers just to have a point of comparison to your current situation. .5 teachers get .5 benefits from my understanding (although I do not know exactly what that translates to).

HelpOthers The government's portion for a full-time employee is more than what the employee pays. However, If you are employed 50% (0.5), you get 50% of the government's portion. Therefore, your portion is that much larger. It is actually more than double what a full-time employee would have paid (If I recall). When I was hired part-time, we continued with my...See More
