Or are they doing this marking on days when they teach then are supposed to mark until they fall asleep? Then that's unreasonable, should be paid overtime for the hours.

$200 a day for weekends or holidays seems a bare minimum, should be time and a half.

Teacher salaries are for all 12 months, so they'd be being paid their normal salary as well as an honorarium for doing 'extra work' for marking the exams and to cover travel costs, etc.

So the example of the Tim Horton's kid being paid more per hour on an exam marking day is total nonsense.
