Working out Pro rata pay for a term-time only school su[[ort job - how do I do that?

I'm considering applying for a job that happens to be term-time only. It is only 8 hours per week. How would I work out the pro rated (?) salray? Divide the salray roughly by 4? Or do I need to take off the holidays?

Are support staff paid for holidays?

I get apporx 4 weeks paid holiday (school office).

Some councils pay an enhanced hourly rate in lieu of holidays.

A rough idea of your hourly rate would be the full time salary divided by 52 (weeks) divided by 37 (hours)

And then multiply that by 8 and multiply it by 39 (weeks)?

Is it advertised as term time only or is the salary quoted as gross, full or for 8 hours ? You'd have to clarify what they mean. If the salary quoted is full time, you divide by about 37 multiply by 8. It is normally based upon about 39 weeks of teaching time so divide the annual figure by 52 and multiply by 39 (or however many they expect you to work, sometimes you might do a week or two extra over the summer in admin for example, it depends on the job). Alternatively if you have an hourly figure multiply that by 8 and again by 39. hth

Here they get paid 52 weeks.
