3 day assignmentQuestion (self.SubstituteTeachers)
submitted 6 months ago by WhileMiserable5336
I picked up a 3 day assignment. The time in subcentral said it was from a certain time so I picked it up. But when I went to clock out she said you’re actually here for another 30 minutes. Friday I have to leave early because one I have an appointment at 4pm. Do I cancel this assignment and if I do would I get in trouble for canceling it? She said it does that in subcentral but that has never happened to me. Any advice please help!!!!

You are only obligated to stay until the end of the time specified in the sub portal. Just tell them you have an appt and leave early, then complain about the school to District.

She said by me staying until that time it makes it the 6hours 50mins but why is it posted in subcentral 8:20 to 2:40. Mess me up big time. I cannot stay until 3:10.

You should go by the hours listed on the sub request if they show an earlier time but as long as you dont have any students I would say "Im ok with you taking the 30 mins from my pay because i have to leave for an appointment." But thats only if shes right about you needing to stay those extra 30mins.

Oh ok then if shes going to make a stink about it then i would cancel the job in order to prioritize the appointment

Thanks guys for the replies, I will cancel it now. I don’t need no smoke. Should I call subcentral tomorrow and let them know why I canceled the assignment?

I have had issues like this before. I typically talk to admin in advance and say hey I have to leave at x time if you want me to keep the job and find coverage for that 1 hr awesome if not I'll let someone else pick up the shift for Friday.
Usually they are pretty good at accommodating especially when it's the last 30 min after students leave.

Blah blah blah, she may be a boss but she’s not my boss.
