Running a school is nothing like running a business. Your HR system should know that.
Teachers don't work shifts. They teach periods. They're not paid by the hour — they're paid by the lesson. Your HR system shouldn't treat them like factory workers.
Building the semester timetable takes 3 weeks. Then someone calls in sick.
You've balanced teaching loads, room assignments, subject coverage, and teacher preferences across 60 staff. Then Dr. Chen requests leave for April. You rebuild 40% of the timetable by hand.
8:45am. Period 1 teacher called in. Class starts in 15 minutes.
You're calling every available teacher in the building. Most are already teaching. The students are waiting. You need a system that already knows who's available and certified.
Payroll: 60 teachers × different contracts × part-time lesson rates × substitution hours.
Full-time on salary. Part-time paid per lesson. Substitutes on hourly. Some teach across two campuses. One teaches at different rates by subject. Every month it takes 4 days to reconcile.
Your science teacher's teaching license expires next semester. Nobody flagged it.
Without a valid teaching certification, they can't legally teach certain subjects. The accreditation review is in 6 months. You need a system that tracks this proactively — not after the visit.
Professional development: 40 teachers completed training. You have no record.
The Ministry requires proof of CPD hours. Your teachers attended workshops. The certificates are in a filing cabinet. No digital record. No report. Accreditation is at risk.
Your 4 campuses each have their own Excel timetable. Nothing connects.
A teacher teaches across Campus A and Campus B. Campus A's HR doesn't know their Campus B teaching load. Total: 28 hours/week. Legal limit: 22 hours. Nobody knows.
HR for schools needs to speak the language of schools.
Timetables, not rosters. Teaching hours, not shift hours. Lesson-based payroll, not hourly wages. Substitute pools, not open shift broadcasts. Tanca understands the difference.
