Help working out new pay

9 replies

I'm struggling to work out my new pay and have not had it confirmed yet, anyone smart about can help me.

Per Annum - £35572
Annual Leave Per Annum - 27 days

If I am only working 22.5 hours per week over 3 days what would my new pay be and holidays.

Thank you

£35572 x 3/5

same for holidays

How many hours is a full time week? Off your example I’d assume 37.5 hours for five days, if so you do 0.6 x salary and 0.6 x FT holiday allowance, so salary = £21,343.20 and holiday = 16.2 hours

This is a good calculator for take home pay: www.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/salary.php

You work 60% of a full timer so will be on 60% of that salary.

To calculate your holidays you need to convert them to hours (so multiply by 7.5) and then do 60% again.

So roughly £21,343 and 16 days leave.

You need to know what a full time worker gets for comparison.

Does a full time worker have a 37.5hr working week or is there an establish policy of everyone finishing an hour or two early on a Friday?

Do full time workers get all their bank holidays in addition to their 27 days AL or are Bank Holidays subtracted from those 27 days?

The answers will depend on that.

Fulltime is 37.5 and fulltime workers get 27 days plus the additional bank holidays separate. However I won't be working Mondays or Tuesdays.

It doesn't matter that you're not working Mondays and Tuesdays, you still get the full bank holidays pro-rated, and if there's a year where more than 60% of them fall on your working days you'll need to use some of your other leave to cover them.

Usually pt staff just have the BH hours bundled up into your leave and then you allocate leave to the BHs you have to take because you're working and the other hours you can allocate as you please. Some years will work in your favour and others won't but it balances out.

If you're being given a direct part time equivalent of full time pay and conditions, your expectations should be:

  • Salary - £35,572 x 3/5 = £21,343
  • Holidays - 35 x 3/5 = 21 days - The FT staff get 27 days plus bank holidays, so 35. You should get 21 days, including bank holidays.

If you don't work Mondays, this is good as you won't have to use many of your holidays to cover bank holidays. Obviously it might mean that Christmas might come out of your holiday allocation, depending on how it falls and obviously Good Friday at Easter will.

The PT holiday rules with bank holiday is why a lot of PT workers work Tuesday to Thursday, so only Christmas gets in the way occasionally.
