Does S&S cover maternity leave?

    As above, a colleague is out on maternity. Substitute is difficult to find, I gather. I keep getting called to cover some of her classes each week. Is this covered under S&S?

    Its a difficult one. S&S can be used to cover absences even if you could get a sub because you may not be able to get one. If a subject specific sub can't be found, there is money to pay a different sub while things get sorted. However maybe no one is available. Does seem foolish for the school management to be using up S&S for this though.

    If the school are allocated money for maternity substitution then really if you're doing it you should get the sub rate.

    What part of the country are you in and what's her subject? Maybe theres someone on boards who might be available and willing.
