Exam attendant rates

Does anybody know how much a special centre gets for leaving cert? How do they calculate it ?

Scribe gets about 54 a session on the non-Sna rate

Just to clarify, an exam aide is usually a teacher who assists with the running of the exams.

Are you talking about exam attendants? Exam attendants are the students employed to sit outside each centre to keep track of who's leaving and escort people to the bathroom, outside etc.

Yes that's it

If I recall correctly, it's not much more than minimum wage.

The invigilator should have a list of how much gets paid for each paper length and then you just add all of those up. There's a flat wage for setting the place up the day before they all kick off.

Have a read through this thread.

Thanks but I'm wondering for special centres

A centre is a centre. Special or not.

I'd be fairly confident that it's still a matter of earning based on how long each exam was that you attended for.

You'll have to ask the invigilator on your last day though.

At least at my school, the invigilator paid the attendants directly and then claimed it back off the SEC later.

I can't think of any reason why a special centre exam attendant would get a higher rate. Your exam durations may have been longer than the standard allocated time for each subject though.

I'm getting paid by the sec as I would've had 5 different invigilators

I had 5 centres and then my my friend had 8 so it wouldn't be fair if we got paid the same as a main centre cause we had to take care of more

People attending to regular centres get moved around a lot too though. As the exams progress and numbers taking papers dwindle, the students typically get clumped together in central centres as opposed to always being in the same one.

I'd be prepared for the fact that they'll probably just pay based on the time you gave them.

Again people are confusing things. The child who sits outside the door is paid the same rate no matter what door they sit outside. The adults who work for the SEC running centres are different.

in my school, the way it works is special centres get paid by the school rather than the SEC. because of this, they get paid less than main centre attendants because the school cant afford to pay as much as the SEC. I was a main centre attendant though so im not sure how much the special centre attedants got paid.

Ah here. It's a cushy number where you have to do little except for bring in tea and biscuits during the exam. Are you seriously saying that you should get paid more because you had to bring tea to more than one person?

Conversely, your friend minding the main centre might have had more work to do following people to the toilet from a large room where there were only a few students in the special centres.
