Are these wages correct

[monicagellerbing]

I'm really really thick when it comes to any maths so hoping someone can help me as this doesn't seem right.

I have a term time only job but I'm paid every month regardless so obviously it's pro rata . £10.50ph 14 hours a week. I have been paid £441 twice now. I don't pay tax. Is this right?

I keep getting around the £588 mark?

You work for 39 weeks per year and are paid for 39 weeks

But your pay is spread out over 52 weeks of the year. You don't get paid for the weeks you do not work.

However, you will be given holiday entitlement & public holidays. This is also prorated as well and will be worked out on 39 days and % of hours you work (eg holiday is less for people part time that work leas hours)

Did you have those 2 days off as holiday? Or were they bank holidays? If you didn’t work and got paid for them that’s your holiday pay

The two days holiday have been given to me within the 6 weeks holiday which I don't work. I just assumed that two days holiday pay would mean receiving more than £441 but like I said I'm useless at this stuff and am happy to be told otherwise

Hmm would you have been working on the bank holiday days in July august?

if you had been due to work you wouldn’t be paid for them unless you had them as holiday

Sometimes woth term time contracts they roll the pay into your horly rate, like it would have been 10.47 an hour but now its 10.50. One of my contracts is like that.

Isn't term time 39 weeks plus 5.6 weeks holiday so you're paid for 44.6 weeks then that is paid over 12 months?
everyone gets holiday pay

@Anunusualfamily no as I don't work Mondays

@MostlyHappyMummy when I took the job he told me he'd pay me one days holiday every month (even though I can't actually take a holiday as I'm off on school holidays) so I'm entitled to 12 days per year holiday. So I can see now thanks to the replies here my monthly salary is £441 but if I'm meant to be paid one or two days holiday every month shouldn't it be more than that?

How many weeks a year do you work?

9.30-2 for two days and 9.30-2.30 one day - so 4.5 hours + 4.5 hours + 5 hours = 14 hours per week, in those weeks where you work those hours.
How many weeks are you contracted to work in a year? It may be 38, 39, we don't know.

£10.50 gross per hour, 14 hours per week for 38 weeks = £5586 per annum.
Boss has said they will give you 12 days of holiday on top... but how long is a holiday day? It might be based on the past 12 weeks average, or it may be doing something completely different. As you do 14 hours over 3 days, lets make an assumption that 12 days is 56 hours worth of pay.

So £10.50 gross per hour, 14 hours per week for 38 weeks (532 hours) + 56 hours = £6174 per annum. Divide by 12 and it is £514.50 per month.

We don't know the exact pension arrangements but take home is likely around £488 per month.

So I agree with you that it should be more. But we don't know exactly how your pay is being calculated. So I would talk to your boss and ask them to explain it.

No as you don’t get paid for working the day you take off and get holiday pay on top

Do you work Thursday Friday? Did you get paid for the jubilee bank holidays in June?

To be paid the legal minimum holidays, it works out as 12.07% on top of your hourly rate. That equates to 28 days a year for a full time worker.

You work 14 hours a week for 38 weeks a year, which is 532 hours. Assuming none of your working days fall on a bank holiday, and you never take a day off, you should be paid for 532 x 1.1207 = 596 hours a year. £10.50 per hour is an annual salary of £6258 per year

I make that £521.50 per month, with no NI or tax to pay. Pension off give £497.50

if you work 39 weeks, the same calculation gives £511.50 after pension

Ah in this case yes it should be more.

im not sure he can dictate that you have to take one day every month as you should be accruing them to take when you want.

have you calculated your leave entitlement? You can do this www.gov.uk/calculate-your-holiday-entitlement
