Calculate Pro Rata

[Missingthesun]

Support staff - £18,500. 31.25 hours per week. Term time only.

Is this pro rata according to the hours? Or the holidays? How do I calculate what the actual take home pay would be please?

Not sure how school pro rata works! Hope someone can help

Anyone?!

There will be an official number of hours that a "full time" employee to the same employer has to work, and it will be pro-rata to that across the year.

If it's an LEA state school position then full time employees probably work 37 hours per week, 44.8 weeks per year (assuming 5.6 weeks annual leave plus 8 days bank holiday) so a full time employee works 1657.6 hours per year.

This part time tto contract is 1218.75 hours a year (butmay vary slightly depending on whether they want you in on INSET days) so relative to ft would be 73.5% of full time. However that figure could vary according to what the full time calculation would be and that is up to the employer. The specific non-whole number of hours of 31.25 suggests to me that they have chosen the hours to be a meaningful fraction of fte so I would guess it would actually be 75%.

Why don’t they just specify the actual salary?!

I understand pro rata in terms of full time ratio to part time. But would I then need to pro rata that to 44 weeks as well? Thanks

It's black magic. Noone properly understands! All depends on what HR deem as full time, what they consider as annual leave etc. And you don't know that until too late, on the whole.

I don't mind them advertising as pro-rata, but wish they'd also give what the effective salary would be! Guessing they're worried that would scare applicants off if they saw how low it really was though.
