Term-time workers typically work 39 weeks a year, but the exact arrangement is for agreement between the parties. For example, the employee could work during half-term holidays but not during the longer school holidays.

How many weeks is school term?

Each school year is made up of 39 weeks, or 195 days. These weeks are split over three main terms, which are then split again into half-terms. These terms, and the holidays that break them up, vary depending on what Easter occurs, but typically pupils go no longer than seven weeks without a break from school.

How many weeks do you get paid for term time only?

What does term time only pay mean? Some term time workers may only be paid for the hours of work undertaken during term time, and not for school holidays. However, all workers, even term time workers, are entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks paid holiday per annum on a pro rata basis.
