Fractional Post Calculation - HR help needed

12 replies

p2b · 07/05/2010 18:12

Hi

I am trying to work out how adding additional annual leave reduces a fractional post. I need the additional leave to cover school hols etc.. I will then be able to take the additional leave as and when required.

In a full time post the leave entitlement is 38 days. I wish to propose reducing this to a 0.9 post but am then trying to work out how this is reduced by adding 1 or 2 additional weeks annual leave. Hopefully, I will then be able to work out the financial implications.

Can anyone help? Many thanks

Am I coming at this the wrong way? Should I be working out how much in wages 2 weeks wage would be and then taking this away from my yearly wage and then dividing by 12 to get the monthly take home pay? Please help - I am going a bit mad thinking about it!

I can't work out what you are trying to do?

PT leave would be 38 x 0.9 so 34.2 but would that include bank holiday?

Thanks for your reply.
Bank holidays would be on top.

I'm now thinking that existing leave entitlement is not actually significant in the calculation I'm trying to do.

Sorry for the confusion. I think what I need to find out is how taking 2 weeks unpaid leave (to accommodate school hols)will affect my final pay and what the impact will be in terms of reducing a 0.9 fractional post. Does this make sense?

How many hours a week is FT & how many hours will you be doing?

FT is 37 hours. I am proposing to do 33.3 hours so as to equal a 0.9 post.

Thanks

SO gross salary divided by 37 multiplied by 33.3 would give a starting salary for 0.9 - this can be netted by visiting the HMRC site to do a Tax & NI calculation

The extra leave is a bit more complicated

but 33.3 x 52 weeks = 1731.6 hours a year

Gross salary divided by 1731.6 gives you an hourly rate

34.2 days leave is (34.2x(33.3/5) so 227.77 hours a year leave

So 2 weeks extra leave would be 6.66*10 so 66.6 hours

1731.6 less 66.6 is 1665 working hours give you a new gross

so 1665 times hourly rate g

What would the employer do about the 0.1 - may not be easy for them to find someone to do that amount of time.

Taking off more time (unpaid) may be easier for the employer to accommodate - if they can find someone else to cover your job during that time, or if the workload is such that it can be shared around a bit between other staff.

Take your gross annual salary and divide by 52. Then multiply by 50. Put the resulting figure into calculator.kistax.com if you want to see how it affects your tax-home pay.
You would need to negotiate with your employer with regard to if you still build-up leave entitlement whilst off those 2 weeks.

Hi

Many thanks for that. I think I have worked out that those additional weeks will result in 1228 pounds reduction over the year - so about 100 pounds a month. Can I just check that the Bank Holidays are not then relevant to the calculation? Also, do you have any idea what this reduces the fractional post to?

I am very grateful for your time.

1665/(37*52) is 0.86 (ish)

Well bank holidays make it very difficult but you would only get 6.66 hrs each bank holiday - if you work the same hours every week it isn't normally an issue but if you work longer/shorter hours on a monday it will have a (very complicate - I wouldn't work it out for you) effect

Thanks for that. I will indeed need to ask what happens about accruing leave in the 2 weeks which are unpaid. Blimey this is complicated!

Well you won't

But if you start by asking for 0.85 that should be taken in to consideration I think??

No that wouldn't work

Umm complicated
