How many hours do you work per week and for how much??

[Hairymary1]

Just that really, do you work part time or full time and what do you get paid for your job? Do you think it’s enough? Worth it? Etc

I’m currently working 36-40 hours a week for just over 1700 a month and I feel like it’s crap pay!? Just wondered how others felt and what position they were in.
If you don’t want to answer then don’t...just move on. It’s an anonymous forum so it’s no biggie!! ( also I have NC’d so not a troll)

I'm a carer for my child so I get £60pw. My husband works 37.5hrs a week and get £1100 per 4 weeks.

20 hours a week ( 2.5 days ) 800-900 per week before tax. I am self employed so only get paid when I work. I can take my pension at 60 ( in 4 years) and carry on working. I probably will since I can only spend so much time pottering with DH!
I was working full time until 12 months ago but took the decision to sell my business and carry on working for new owner until retirement. Twelve months on I made the right decision. It was a big risk because I wasn’t sure how well I’d cope stepping away from management and working for someone else. But it’s worked out well.

15 hours per week, 3 days per week, within school hours, for £920 pcm net.

I do 35 hours a week with 14 years experience and a relevant degree for minimum wage. It’s crap but it’s well known in the industry.

I would discourage my children from following me into early years or anyone else’s children for that matter. I do it because I genuinely love it and my employer is lovely. It’s also family friendly right now.

45+ hrs a week, hourly rate £9-£39, approx £2,000 - £3,000 pm before any deductions. Self-employed.

I also work in childcare and to earn the upper end of the above figures, I totally burn myself out and can only do it for short periods of time (school holidays, ad-hoc).

I work 37 hours a week for £1600 a month after deductions

I work between 45-50 hours a week (I am a teacher and that’s how long I’m actually in school per week and sometimes I take work home too). I take home £3100 after tax, ni, pension and student loan. It doesn’t always feel like a lot for the amount of hours I do but of course I get longer holidays than many (18 weeks!) which I wouldn’t change.

And despite the pressure and relentlessness, I do love my job!

I work about 30 hours, but it varies, and earn £42700. I feel happy with that.

@CanICelebrate I'm assuming you aren't just a normal teacher and have a lot of additional responsibilities to earn that much though?

2 jobs, £1,400-£2k per month, as work fluctuates but average out at 14 hours per week, 20 if add in admin requirements. Have a young family and several animals so Work has to fit in around all of their needs. DH does long hours (and overnights several times a month) so it works this way for the time being.

Teacher in Ireland...a week is 25 hours (probably do an extra 5/6 altogether) wage is over 42k

About 60 hours per week in term time, sometimes more .A lot less but at least 10 per week in holidays.
Around £2.5 k take home. Primary Teacher in leadership role.

Take home £2300. Contacted full time 36 hours but work on detached duty so paid time and travel to my place of work. So work 4 days as 8 hrs is taken up in travel.

22.5 hours a week and take home just over 1k a month. £11 an hour.

£1650 net per month for 32 hours a week. Plus an annual bonus of between £1k - £5k net.

I’m happy enough with it...I get a great pension and private healthcare, 28 day’s holiday plus Bank Hols on top and it’s very flexible and local.

Some of the net amounts on here sound great but I wouldn’t work 60 hour weeks for any salary, totally not worth it IMO 🤷🏻‍♀️

25-30 hours a week at minimum wage. It works out less, though as I travel between home visits. Officially, I'm paid travel time, in reality it's never long enough to get from A-B, so I work through supposed breaks and then go over, unpaid, to catch up.

@Maroon85 My guess is it’s an independent school with that amount of holiday.

Supposed to be 35 hours per week but can be less, or occasionally more.

I still get my £40k salary whatever so feel very fortunate!

@Maroon85 it’s a reasonably senior role in an independent school

Approx 50K per year for 24 hours a week. Take home around 2600/ month.

37.5 hours a week and take home £1100 a month. I feel stuck in my job, it works around school holidays/husband so well but the pay is crap for how much we all do. Maybe 2020 will be that year I take a leap of faith

37.5 hours a week - £47k gross salary per annum plus a 15% bonus and good perks. I do commute (drive) 1 hour each way though.
