Common use of Supply Contract Clause in Contracts

Supply Contract. 4.3.1 A Supply Contract is a general “zero hours” contract which will be issued to all teaching staff recruited to the supply list. Under such a contract there is no requirement upon the Council to guarantee availability of employment, nor is there any requirement upon a teacher to guarantee availability for work. 4.3.2 A supply contract will be used in circumstances where cover is required for occasional single days or for short continuous periods, not exceeding a maximum of 8 weeks. Where a teacher is called firstly on a short term period, which subsequently extends beyond 8 weeks, a fixed term contract will normally be issued. The entire period of continuous employment will be counted for the purposes of transfer to permanent employment status.
