HOURS OF WORK

Official hours of work for all categories are as follows -
Teaching staff: 7.30am – 4.00pm each week day except when on school duty. Staff members have responsibilities to
attend to students’ learning periods, attend committee meetings, staff meetings, PTA meetings/special school events
and be present as required during students’ resumption beyond the specified duration as appropriate. Other

categories of teachers are also expected to observe their lessons as indicated in the evenings and weekends.
Non-teaching staff – in line with their core responsibilities
However, it will be necessary on some occasions to work beyond these hours as duty demands.

PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

Official public holidays are usually observed except where they interfere with the core responsibility of the staff or
when there is need to use this period for some school activity – staff may therefore be required to work during public
holidays.

RE-DEPLOYMENT
In accordance with its operational requirements and following consultation where possible, Springsville International
School reserves the right to transfer an employee to another department or section. Staff may also be required to

perform other duties for which they are considered qualified or capable.
Note that it may not be possible to give an advance notice to an employee who is considered suitable for movement
from one position/department to another. Refusal by an employee to accept any such movement shall be regarded as
a breach of conditions of service, for which the authority will take disciplinary action which could result in the

termination of employment of such an employee.
