When a teacher works through a teaching agency, they usually have a lot of questions in regards to their services. There main issues are regarding  the intro fees and pay rates. So if you have any concerns or questions on how teaching agencies work, and how they can help you find a suitable occupation then the following items below will hopefully help you understand how these organisations work.

In the event that your agency places you in a school that offers you a contract, it’s important that you notify your agency as as possible. This is due to some agencies expect schools to pay introduction fees, as per their Terms of Business. A fair few educational institutions don’t like paying these kinds of fees, and may attempt to cancel the contract.

It’s important to remember that different agencies have different pay rates. For example, certain agencies will quote their daily rate, including their holiday rates, while others will quote their daily rate but will also accrue their holiday pay in relation to the pay rates. So if you wish to sign on with a particular agency, you should first understand their pay rate policies.
