To ask wwyd about this work situation?

[justexisting22]

I've been angry for a few days following a recent salary review at work and I can't stop thinking over it in my head. I really need advice on how to handle the situation as I feel like I've been really undervalued and I'm seriously wondering now whether or not I should look for a new position at a totally different company.

For some background, my "new" salary for this year was my base salary last year, however this was pro rata to £Xk a year, as I worked part time but then changed to full time when I started a new role. So I'm wondering if is that even correct? Should this not have increased when I went back full time?

I've been at this company for 6 years, have qualifications experience etc, yet I'm still only on the starting salary for my position. It just doesn't seem right to me and to be honest I've been so upset and angry about it

AIBU to think I should just look elsewhere?

I was in your shoes 6 weeks ago.

I rang a recruiter and last week was offered a really great job on 40% more than the old one.

Vote with your feet. It's the only way.

if the op works five days a week and leaves thirty mins early each day she works 2.5 hours less each week or ten hours less a month than a full time employee.

She earns roughly 10.88 an hour (assuming 37,5 hours a week as standard, could be more or less but in that region ) , so she would earn by default approx 109£ a month less than a full time equivalent.which totals to 1300£ a year less ( or there abouts depends on actual hourly rate)

so you take the full increase of say £1400 and remove the £1300 for the hours she doesn’t work, she is left with a 100£ actual increase.

i think she’s upset because she thought she was actually getting paid for full time but she’s not, she’s being paid for what she works,

I think that’s why she’s saying it doesn’t say pro rated on it, she thought she was being paid full time even though she leaves thirty mins early every day. But it’s pro rated for what she doesn’t work and that’s why it’s a small increase in reality, it’s the total increase for the full time pay minus the payment she isn’t due as she doesn’t work full time.

and I think that’s fair. The others work those two and a half hours etc if they decide not to then they also shouldn’t be paid for it and would take a pay cut in the region of 1300£ or whatever it is.

👏

so good to read this. Congratulations.

Oh right. Despite saying they went from part time to full time in the op. Clear as mud 😂

I think she meant she went from part time wage to full time wage as they hadn’t specifically said they were pro rating it. So she’s looked at the full time wage and for some reason assumed that’s what she was getting paid. Even though she wasn’t upping her working time.

she’s still got a huge increase year on year in actual terms . But she’s comparing her pro rated wage and increase to those working full time and thought she was getting both th increase in moving from pro rated pay to full time pay plus the increase on the full time wage. Even though she was still working the same part time hours.

It either goes "off the base" and is then pro rated, or it's pro rated and added to the current.

It comes out the same.

I hope you've been clear with HR what you meant because it's really confusing on here.

The idea they would give you the full time pat rise is bonkers.
