FAQs
PAL Leaders can only begin work once they have completed their training and provided all of the employment documentation necessary.
Going forward, the Part-Time-Hourly-Paid [PTHP] Team have informed us that they will be managing the PAL Leader employment process and will be notifying PAL Leaders to confirm when they are able to start work.
It is vital that PAL Leaders do not start work until PTHP have verified they are able to.
You need to be conscious of working hours allowance. Please flag this to the Operations Manager in your faculty:
Try to avoid this where possible if it hasn't already been agreed within the faculty and PAL Central. Remember what PAL Leaders are contracted for - to run facilitation sessions. You can speak to ADSE about extra work and CC in the PAL Team as we manage the pay claims.
You need to notify the seminar group that there may be disruption or no sessions for a few weeks, but it needs to be resolved ASAP. Ask other PAL Leaders about covering an extra session, or see if a similar subject has reserves/willing leaders. A last resort is talking to timetabling and seeing if you can merge 2 groups.
