Rejected petition Supply staff to be properly and fairly paid
Supply staff need to be furloughed in a way that does not leave them disadvantaged by the current situation. Umbrella companies and agencies need more guidance and we should certainly be paid higher than 80% of minimum wage. Many of us are working in education.
More details
We work for agencies (in many cases) in education to give us the flexibility and them the staff needed due to illness and absences. We have a vital role to play. Many of us are qualified teachers, experienced supply staff and we are left with no money.
