    Teachers prepare lesson plans ahead of class

    Teachers are unfortunately salary exempt in turn for being paid during the summer, so this doesn’t equate

    Nurses stay late to finish charting…

    They’re hourly and still on the clock getting paid

    Journalists put in hours of the clock

    Not familiar how their pay works

    Regardless in every example it’s a non-sequitor as they are not doing an exempt knowledge worker job that would even remotely qualify them for unpaid overtime. If you’re gonna take that route then they need to be put on salary and adjusted accordingly

      Ontario teachers aren’t paid during the summer. I don’t know about other provinces as our public education systems are different in each province.

        It’s a choice here. You’re on contract for a certain fixed rate. You can get it paid for the 9-10 months your working or divide it up over the full year.
