Dear Porky Pie

I was told of one teacher who after submitting Notice to end his Contract of Employment early then had his full summer vacation salary payment withheld.

The teacher was put into a position whereby he then had to work (at his request) for an additional three weeks at the school into the summer vacation period (which was paid).

It should be noted this teacher worked from January to July without any days of absence.

His wife who was working at the school also had her full summer vacation pay withheld even though she too submitted Notice to end her Contract early.

It is no wonder that so many teaching staff at NIS decide not to submit any Notice and just not appear at the start of a new Term.

Believe me when I say this all teachers are professionals trying to give the best education possible to the children under their charge but when faced with this "style" of ownership at NIS (D Ring) I believe they are forced to act in a way which they would not normally dream of.

If any X Teachers of NIS have experiences which they would like to share I would strongly urge you to post your comments on this site both good and bad so prospective teachers can make an informed decision.
