Good evening,
I would be enormously grateful if someone could shed some light. I originally posted this in Employment, but I have had no answers...
I have recently started a job in a FE College in London. The post is term time only and the salary is £20,000 pro rata, but actual salary £17,000.
I signed my contract which explicitly stated my actual annual salary would be £17,000, paid monthly. On receipt of my first wage I found to my surprise that the college are paying me on an adjusted salary of £14,000 per annum because of the time of year I have started and the amount of holiday vs working weeks (started end of April, I will have 1 weeks half term and 4 weeks summer hols). They said I will start getting an annual salary of £17,000 come September when the new academic year starts.
Can they do this? Reduce an already pro rata'd wage? Under no circumstances was this explained to me before I accepted the job, or was there any mention in letter or contract. I was told I would receive an annual salary of £17,000. Annual not academic year. I asked them if on the anniversary of my year working there, ie: my 365th day anniversary being at the end of April 2016, will I have earned what is stated in my contract and they said no. Surely this isn't right? Is it?
Many thanks for taking the time to read
