    Part-time teachers are taking their pay fight to the Employment Court

    Part-time teachers are taking their pay fight to the Employment Court


    The court is hearing their arguments for being paid for non-contact time - for class preparation and admin work.

    Full-time teachers are entitled to several hours a day - but part-timers aren't.

    Lisa Hargreaves is one of four women taking the case.

    She says it's also about gender equality in the workforce, with most part time teachers being female.
