FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I already sub for the district; do I have to reapply?
No, you won’t have to reapply, but current subs will need to enroll with Penmac. Completing our online application is the first step in the enrollment process (because that's how we gather your personal information for your employment and payroll records) but it's not a true application to be evaluated. As long as you still meet the qualifications to substitute, there won't be an interview process or other evaluation if you are an existing district substitute in good standing.
After the online application, we'll need to see you in person to complete your I-9 form and other employment documents. We’ll have enrollment sessions on-site at the district before the new school year.
How do I become a substitute for a local district?

Penmac can support you through the process of applying and completing background checks. Other substitute positions, such as paraprofessionals, may have different requirements. Specific school districts may have additional requirements.
How often do I have to work?
A great perk of substitute teaching is that you work when it works for you! You can work as much or as little as you’d like.
Can I choose what building I want to work in?
Yes, substitutes can select preferences for building, grade level, or subject area.
What about insurance?
Penmac offers an affordable health insurance plan option with no waiting period! Coverage will begin on the Monday after your second weekly paycheck. More details will be available at enrollment, and you can also learn more at www.penmac.com/benefits.
Are there other benefits?
Yes, Penmac offers a retirement savings plan, including a 401k, and participation in an employee-ownership plan for long-term Penmac employees.
When will I get paid?
You will be paid weekly, every Thursday, for the hours that you worked the prior week.
