So true Chocolatepot, love that name.

I'm sure science doesn't even pass a thought for them!

The School Science Laboratory Technicians National Standards 2013 has guidelines on the service factor level of our position/role etc....an excellent document.

to view the pdf google:
School Science Laboratory Technicians National Standards 2013

Hope this helps...
Cheers,

Please see just a winge, I have put up the PSA meeting 23/10/14 it is just awful.

Thank you so much for letting me know about the 2013 Guideline, Kerry!! This will be great ammunition to take to to my SAM and principal

I have worked out that based on those standards (service factor being 0.85) I am sitting at 0.19 and that doesn't include all the extra stuff I have to do for my school outside of Science. This will be great ammunition to take to to my SAM and principal

I actually had a whinge to my SAM the other day and told her I need someone to help, even if for a few hours a week. She said "I can't send anyone to help you...no-one is science trained." What the??? Firstly, when did someone washing up glassware need to be science trained?? And secondly, I AM NOT SCIENCE TRAINED!!!!! Better get me out of there ASAP

I just read what you put up, Sue. I don't like it at all

I worked in the banking industry prior to this role and I hated having 6 monthly appraisals done. If we have to do that, it won't be fun at all
