Lil Ole Me In the school that I used to work as a per diem, we had a long term sub who took a job after being told that the job would last three months. The pay scheme in that district was $70 for the first 40 days, then Step One BA salary RETROACTIVE to day one, after 40 days.

Well SURPRISE! the "regular" teacher came back after 35 days.!!!

Lil Ole Me @ just askin"

Right now, there is not much of a need for per diem subs with my previous employer. I will be going back in a few weeks, however.
