Summer Vacation 2024 Update

@Matthew-A my understanding is not just mpt hours count towards the bonus, but also the amount of classes you teach, am I right?
-
@Patrick-115 Which 5 hours (now 3) did you have on your MPT schedule?
-
Don't change your MPT schedule if you want to appear consistent to the algorithm.

@Matthew-A. Well it became really complicated because I always started on one of the 1/2 hr sessions before but that option appears to have been taken away which has really stuffed my schedule.
This was my PT slots that I submitted on the 15th June for July and August requesting a change BEFORE the summer schedule appeared. I also filled in as many old regular slots as I could to try and accommodate most regulars over the summer break. It seems teachers are not allowed to take breaks ;-) sigh
Application details: Effective date is 2024/07/01 00:00:00 (GMT+8)
New schedule(GMT+8):
Wednesday: 19:30, 20:00, 20:30, 21:00
Thursday: 19:30, 20:00, 20:30, 21:00
Friday: 19:30, 20:00, 20:30I've asked COMMS to ignore my last request to add hours in order to accommodate the need for 5 new PT hours on your advice.

@Matthew-A
So can I confirm, we do not need 5 hours of peak times each week? Is that just when we set our initial schedule? I moved my MPT hours to ensure I still had 5, but as someone pointed out, I will now look less reliable to the algorithm. 😞

That's what I thought UNTIL I saw this post. When I saw this 👇 I thought it meant we have to change our MPT so I did. In hindsight, I could've left it as it was and just added hours to my schedule.

@Matthew-A Hi Matthew. So basically if we didn't change, because they sent an announcement late, we won't have any issues through July for just 3 dark green hours and two light green hours as minimum? Something like in this example? I have more MPT on Mondays.
-
@All - The 20:30 MPT timeslot should be fixed now and still show as a peak hour.
-
@Patrick-115 @Rebecca-387 @Milena-0 @Stewart-5 , please see Jen's update about 20:30. You should all be ok now.
The only change to the MPT hours is that some midweek mornings were added. Nothing has been taken away. So if you were getting the bonuses before, you will continue to get them.

Thank you @Matthew-A, @Jennifer-M for sorting this. It was getting very messy. Have a good day all.
