Enter real days
On the staff step, set each part-time teacher’s working days directly. Do not convert them to a fraction first. Bell Path works out the entitlement from the sessions those days contain, which is more accurate than a fraction whenever your days are not all the same length.
- A teacher working Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday gets the entitlement those three days carry.
- Half days work. A teacher available for part of a day receives the share that part of the day carries rather than being rounded up to a whole day.
- If a teacher’s days vary week to week, enter the pattern they are rostered for and handle exceptions through daily cover.
Do not round days
Do not round a two-and-a-half-day teacher up to three days or down to two. It puts a small error in that person’s entitlement every week of the year.
