Pay increase

67 replies

HowmuchcanispendatChristmas · 11/11/2022 19:43

Shamelessly posting here for thoughts .

Can anyone help me. I work in a school 26.5 hours per week .37 weeks per year. We have been told that we will be getting the pay increase of £1925 per year for staff working 52 weeks per year , and this will be pro rata for us.
This will be back dated to April . So my questions are how much per month does this equate too and how much for the months April-November combined as the backdated money is being paid in November.
Thanks in advance ( I’m trying not to spend it already 😁)

Your paid weeks should be at least 42.6 per year if that helps OP.

Assuming full time hours I’d say your pay increase would be:
FTE %: 71.6
Pro rated increase for hours: £1,378.30
pro rated for TTO: £1,129

Not the best at maths though!

Excited to get mine whatever it is!! Hoping for £500 backdated! 🤞🏻

Does anyone know what happens for TAs that started at new schools in September? Does the old school have to make the back payment to an employee that has left?

Are you a LA or an academy trust, I'm a teacher and haven't heard anything in the trust about our payrises nor have support staff,

We are LA but the increase is blanket across all council workers I believe .

@ClocksGoingBackwards email your old HR as you may be able to claim.

I've worked it out as £26.51 per working week throughout the April to November period.

1925÷52 = 37.01(this is the weekly, full time rate)
37.01÷37 = 1 (this is the hourly rate)
1 x 26.05 = 26.05 (your weekly pay rise)
26.05 x(working weeks between Apr and Nov) = your back dated pay....clear as mud 🤣

So if it’s £26.51 per working week , all I need to do is work out how many weeks there were and multiply the two together?🤔

@LondonQueen teachers have definitely gone through

If you contact your old HR you should be able to get it paid to you for April-August/whenever your last paid day was.

finallydones · 11/11/2022 20:44

But teachers only backdated to Sep

Thank you, wondering if it will appear in this months pay without being told then! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Wine4whine · 11/11/2022 21:29

@HowmuchcanispendatChristmas theoretically, yes. I don't work within education so unsure how the pay works in regards to August being included but you should be able to get a good idea of what you're due using those figures 🙂

Dippydinosaurus · 11/11/2022 21:34

HowmuchcanispendatChristmas · 11/11/2022 20:04

Is yours backdated too?

Yes it's backdated

ClocksGoingBackwards · 11/11/2022 21:53

@LondonQueen @finallydones thank you. Good to know it’s worth trying!

finallydones · 11/11/2022 22:50

@LondonQueen it may have missed your payroll deadline but 🤞🏼

Teapleasebobb · 11/11/2022 23:01

Have all schools been informed? We haven't been told anything by our school about it. Does it come out of the current 'pot' or are schools given extra money to pay for the increase and back pay (sorry if that's a silly question, not really sure how it works!)

finallydones · 11/11/2022 23:34

Schools have not been given additional budgets which is going to have ramifications

Thanks, so do you know, would I speak to my council about it or my school?

Hi

I work in school finance, are you sure you work 37 weeks? Seems unusual to work less weeks than the children attend (38) unless you're not in a state school perhaps.

Hours - full time is probably 37 hours
Weeks - working weeks plus annual leave (approx 5.6 weeks but depends on your grade and whether you have more than 5 years service)

£1925/37 hours x 26.5 hours/52.142 weeks x 42.6 weeks = £1126

This is approx £94 per month before deductions so you would get approx £750 in November

Hi
It is a state school.

52 weeks in a year

oct half term =1week
christmas =2weeks
feb half term =1week
easter =2weeks
may half term 1 week
summer 6 weeks

=13 weeks so 39 working weeks?
Does that seem right?

I’m very grateful for everyone’s help x

Just wait and see what you get.

Augend23 · 12/11/2022 08:18

39 working weeks plus 5.6 weeks paid holiday should make it 44.6 paid weeks I think?

Bobishere · 12/11/2022 08:23

My LA have said we don't get the rise and the backdated amount until the December pay.
