What does pro-rata mean?

[Elfontheedge]

As in when applying for a part time role the salary is £15,000 pro-rata?

if you did it full time you'd get £15K but you'll get whatever proportion of that you work.

So if FT was 40 hours and you work 20 you'd get £7.5K

If a person working full time (say, 40 hours a week), then a PT person gets the amount of that salary proportionate to the hours worked.

For example - full time - 40 hours = £15k
PT - 20 hours - 50% of the hours so 50% of the salary so £7.5k

It means that if the salary for full time is 15k and you worked for, say 3 out of 5 days a week you would get 3/5 ths of the full time salary.

It means that if you were working fulltime (whatever THAT means!) you would earn £15k, but it's a part-time job so you earn less. Eg, if fulltime = 40 hours a week and you get £15k, if the job is actually 20 hours you'll earn £7.5k.

What always bugs me about those job ads is that they don't usually tell you what "full time" actually means, 40 hours, 37.5, 35....

Probably that the salary would be £15k for a full-time job and that you would be paid the right proportion for the proportion of hours you worked - eg if you worked 3 out of the 5 days you would get 3/5 of the money (9k) but would need to see the exact words and also need to be sure that they meant what the ad actually said.

Beaten to it!

Lol, lots of x posts, why did so many of us pick 40 hours?

It means if you were working full-time (39hrs?) that's what you'd earn. If the the actual role was, for example, 13hrs pw what you'd actually earn would be £5000 - third of the hours, third of the money.

I thought it was something like that. Why can't they just say what they're actually paying for the advertised hours? Grrr. I'm not getting frustrated trying to find a job no not at all

Cos it's easy to divide into halves and quarters - 35 is a pest for dividing :)

Also in theory I do a 40 hour week. (HA.)

I was so slow! Lots of x posts there

Is there an easy way to work out what the actual pay would be? My brain is not working properly today.

What are the full time & part time hours? (part time/full time) x full time salary should do it.

According to Yahoo answers, divide actual hours by full-time hours then multiply by salary.

Or divide salary by full time hours, then multiply by part time hours :)

Thanks all
