Confused over TA ‘actual salary’

[ThornInMySide84]

Applying for a TA, term time, job. It is listed with an ‘actual salary’. I can’t see anywhere that explains if that means I get the full advertised amount, over 12 months, or if that is the salary if it were full time not term time.

I know teachers salaries are advertised at the amount they actually get and it’s spread over 12 months but I’m pretty sure TAs aren’t paid for the holidays in the same way.

I will email and ask them to clarify but I’d rather not if I can help it!

This is the advert

Min wage, £10.42 x 30 hours a week x 52 weeks of the year (paid leave) gives 16k salary.

The 15k on the advert is the actual amount you will earn, given the unpaid holidays (you should get 5.6 paid weeks, but the rest is unpaid).

Thank you! Yikes though, I didn’t actually realise it’s minimum wage. That’s depressing.

Deleted whilst I check my payslip to check the paid leave element…

You’ll be the actual salary split over 12 months. I have no idea why they advertise the FTE when you can’t work that even if you want to!

I get paid for the weekly hours I do x 38.6 weeks of the year. This amount is then divided by 12 to give me a monthly wage.

15090
thats £1257 pcm gross (before tax, you won’t pay much tax).
Then you get the holidays off, no other holidays

My friend moved from teaching part time to being a TA full time (8.45-3.15). I think she took home about £6-700 a month. That doesn’t sound right now though, writing it down!

It's NOT min wage (quite!).
It's my way of proving it can't possibly be a salary that will get reduced pro rata, as that would make the 15k advertised salary below min wage.

You will earn the 15k, and pay minimal tax etc. Take home just over £1100, exact amount pension dependant.
