English: Well, as a union, we have campaigned over the years, since 1940, to devolve teachers' pay and conditions, because we do believe that we do need to be looking specifically at this workforce in Wales. When we look at the devolution of pay and conditions, I think very often we look at the pay itself. But it is an opportunity now for us to genuinely look at what the challenges are with regard to working conditions for the workforce in Wales. There are very specific things there that we could look at. Perhaps I could speak a little bit about some of those issues with regard to applications to work part-time, and also the pay. So, I'll start with the pay. One of the problems that arise is looking at TLR payments - teaching and learning responsibility payments. At present, it does militate against anyone who chooses to work part-time. So, if somebody returns to work and wishes to work part-time, any TLR payment militates against the teacher because of two specific issues. One is the idea that a school feels that someone who works part-time can't take part in that work fully - that the specific responsibilities for teaching and learning are something that somebody can't do part-time. The second thing is the impact on pay. Even though the responsibility for teaching and learning - even though the payment with regard to that is specific to the work, the payment is pro rata to the wage. So, there is an expectation to do the work in full, but for that to be paid on a part-time basis. And it's a concern that we have also when it comes to opportunities for career progression and development. There is an opportunity with devolution to look seriously at the opportunities for career and professional development when someone has taken time away from the workplace, and when someone has moved to a part-time contract, to ensure equality across the sector, and also to look at the way that we can we ensure that the conditions do consider genuinely the rights of the individual, and to look at our responsibility as we set pay and conditions for individuals.
Welsh: Wel, fel undeb, rydym ni wedi ymgyrchu ar hyd y blynyddoedd, ers 1940, i ddatganoli cyflogau ac amodau gwaith, achos rydym ni yn meddwl bod rhaid i ni fod yn edrych yn benodol ar y gweithlu yma yng Nghymru. Pan ydym yn edrych ar ddatganoli cyflogau ac amodau gwaith, rydw i'n meddwl, yn aml iawn, ein bod ni'n edrych ar y cyflogau eu hunain. Ond mae o'n gyfle i ni erbyn hyn, rŵan, i wirioneddol edrych ar beth ydy'r heriau yn ymwneud ag amodau gwaith i'r gweithlu yng Nghymru. Mae yna bethau penodol iawn yna, ac efallai y gallaf i sôn am ychydig o'r pethau penodol hynny, yn ymwneud â cheisiadau i weithio rhan-amser, a hefyd y cyflog. Felly, fe wnaf i ddechrau efo'r cyflog. Un o'r problemau sydd yn codi ydy edrych ar y taliadau CAD - taliadau cyfrifoldeb addysgu a dysgu. Yn hynny o beth, ar y funud, mae o'n milwrio yn erbyn unrhyw un sydd yn dewis gweithio rhan-amser. Felly, os oes rhywun yn dymuno dychwelyd i'r gwaith ac yn dymuno gweithio rhan-amser, mae unrhyw daliad CAD yn milwrio yn erbyn yr athro neu'r athrawes achos dau beth penodol. Un ydy'r syniad bod ysgol yn teimlo nad ydy rhywun sy'n gweithio'n rhan-amser yn gallu ymgymryd yn llawnamser efo'r gwaith - bod y cyfrifoldebau penodol addysgu a dysgu yn rhywbeth nad ydy rhywun yn gallu ei wneud yn rhan-amser. A'r ail beth ydy yr impact ar gyflog. Er bod y cyfrifoldeb ar gyfer addysgu a dysgu - er bod y lwfans sy'n cael ei gynnig yn benodol ar gyfer gwneud y gwaith, mae'r taliad yn pro rata i'r cyflog. Felly, byddai disgwyliad i wneud y gwaith yn llawn, ond wedyn i hwnnw fod yn daliad rhan-amser. Ac mae'n bryder gennym ni hefyd pan mae'n dod i gyfleoedd datblygu gyrfa. Mae yna gyfle i ni, gyda'r datganoli, edrych o ddifri ar y cyfleoedd datblygiad proffesiynol pan mae rhywun wedi cymryd amser o'r gwaith neu pan mae rhywun yn mynd yn rhan-amser, i sicrhau cydraddoldeb ar draws y sector, a hefyd i edrych o ddifri ar y modd mae sicrhau bod yr amodau yn wirioneddol edrych ar hawliau'r unigolyn a hefyd yn edrych ar ein cyfrifoldeb ni wrth bennu cyflogau ac amodau gwaith ar gyfer yr unigolion.
