Are hired teachers treated the same as regular teachers?

There is not much difference.

In the past, it was really a world of difference whether they were on or off the books, but now the treatment of employed teachers has been greatly improved, for example, the Linyi Economic Development Zone has put forward the conditions of equal treatment for employed and on-the-books teachers.

They are treated the same as regular teachers in terms of salary, merit assessment, outgoing training, title evaluation, and "five insurance and one pension", with pension insurance implemented with reference to enterprise pension insurance, and "five insurance and one pension" fully budgeted by the district treasury and not lower than the standard for local civil servants. Local civil service standards, only this one, the district financial expenditure of more than 600 million yuan each year, to solve the employment system of teachers' worries.

So, nowadays, there is not much difference between a teacher who is on the payroll and a teacher who is not, just a question of whether he or she is on the payroll or not.

At the same time, employed teachers can also be converted to on-staff teachers, which depends on the situation of each school. Therefore, many candidates choose to work as a substitute teacher first to accumulate experience, and then to the on-staff teachers, and employed teachers as long as the employed teachers do not make too many mistakes, the employed teachers will always be renewed, and will not be dismissed.

If the conditions allow, the candidates should still try to develop towards the teachers on the program, after all, the teachers on the program are more stable, and this advantage is not comparable to that of the employed teachers.
