Hiya and welcome to the forum and supply. For keeping track of pay (as I was with 4 agencies) I had one of those folders with all the plastic wallets in and every week I would put that weeks time sheets in there. I would ALWAYS make sure I had my

y of the timesheet before leaving the school. I would also keep a diary of where I had been/what day/which agency/how long etc. Then when the payslip came in I would cross reference against timesheets and diary and tick them off, and put the payslip in the wallet with the relevant timesheets. Took a bit of time but was well worth it in the end. Luckily however all of my agencies were very organised and I never had any problems at all with pay. I know some places pay by the hour and not by daily rate as I was paid but I would just clarify how many hours you are getting paid for mornings/afternoons/full days and go from there.

As for getting asked back I agree with Nutty entirely, making sure you talk to cleaners, secretary etc and smile A LOT. Also take the time to make a trip to the staff room during lunchtime, even if only for 5 minutes. Then they see your face. Another thing I found that helped even with just the agencies is ringing them after your day (if it was good) and tell them what a nice day you've had. Then if you ring before they speak to them, they can tell the school that you've been on the phone already to say what a lovely day you had blah blah. People always love to hear you've enjoyed being in their school. Mostly just try to be friendly and happy as much as you can, and chat to people when you see them.
