Deb Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'm sure this has been discussed before but things do change and I was wondering what you pay staff, if anything, for attending planning/staffing meetings. We have a weekly staff meeting after the Friday session. We want to become more child centred with our planning, involve all staff. We all need to meet to discuss each child. On a Friday we generally work till 3.30 unpaid (from 12.15) but not everybody is keen to work for nothing - can't think why!!! We have plans to sharpen up our Friday meeting to make it more focussed and therefore less time consuming - that's the theory! Just interested to know what others do regarding pay.

debstephens Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hi Deb. I pay my staff for attending meetings, training courses etc out of hours. From a managers point of view it does make you look very carefully at weather the meeting is necessary. I have 13 staff and although I have a budget for meetings it soon gets used up.

Helen Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I pay my staff to attend a weekly two-hour staff meeting. One week we look at observations of the children and complete their records, and the next week we do our fortnightly planning. I do, however, have only five staff, so this is relatively easy for us, particularly as we close at 12.30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I too pay staff for meetings and in service training. We do only have these twice a half term and we are a small staff, six including me. We have a staff meeting on one Tuesday after the session has finished-from 12.30 until 3.00. Our inservice day is always the last Friday of each half term from 9.00-3.00.

We don't pay for staff meetings but we do it very informally round someones house usually with a bottle of wine and some cream cakes. In addition we often take the girls out for lunch / dinner and drinkies in the evening! DEb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
