Guaranteed Pay Scheme Terms and Conditions

Our Guaranteed Pay Scheme ensures eligible candidates receive guaranteed pay for a specified number of days during the agreed period, even if daily work cannot be secured. By participating in this scheme, you agree to the following terms:

Contract Period

• The agreement runs during the term dates specified in your contract.
• If you work fewer than the agreed number of days, the difference will be paid at the end of the academic year or term, as applicable.

• Be available for work every weekday during the agreed term dates.
• Work exclusively for Monarch Education during this period.
• Be ready for work by 7:15am and available to leave for placements no later than 7:30am.
• Remain contactable and available until 11:30am each day; unassigned days after this time will be marked as ‘non-working.’

• Complete all assignments professionally, adhering to standards for timekeeping, behavior, and presentation.
• Undertake general cover and supply work for all subjects and age ranges as required.
