Payment question

    So I am a teaching practice student and I was asked to cover some classes. I was asked for pps number and gave it to secretary. I got paid today for four hours teaching. I got 76 gross and about 71 net for four hours. I looked up the hourly rate for an unqualifed person and it is approx 36 p/hr.

    Also I was paid in cheque to be withdrawn from the school account. The payslip was from the school. This is not a private school.

    So, am I being underpaid? Should I not get paid by the department directly? Would it be possible that the school is claiming for substitute expenses and then paying me what they feel? Should I keep my mouth shut and be grateful?

    Thanks in advance.

    You might have paid emergency tax? If so, ring your revenue commissioners office and you should get it back.

    Surely that will be on the payslip though? My tax was all in all between some prsi and usc about 5/6 euro.

    Yes it would have stated emergency. I don't know you wouldn't get what you were owed. Maybe you should have a chat with the person responsible for the the payment of staff. Someone else on here might know.

    Did they definitely pay you for four hours? On that rate (€36) you would work out with around €76 gross for four classes (35 mins each).

    Failing that, you would be better off to ask whoever paid you how you are being paid etc.
