Workplace dodgy practice for part-time salary increase. Is this legal?

[Startingagainandagain]

I am part-time (3 days) and make less than 30K a year.

My workplace published the salary increases for the year which are based on pay.

So for example people whose pay is less than 25K get 4%, people on less than 30K get 3.5% and people on more than 40K 3%.

So I was expecting a 4% increase but HR claims that I am only getting 3% based on the full time equivalent....

My argument is this should be based on my actual salary not what I would be getting if I was full time.

I was recruited as a part-time worker.

I am absolutely fuming about this.

Anyone knows where I would stand legally?

It should be FTE, yes.

Legislation exists to stop part time employees from being treated less favourably. You’re asking to be treated more favourably.

And in net terms, you’re quibbling about £18 a month. “Absolutely fuming” seems like a bit of an over reaction.

From a legal standpoint your employer is correct. Your rise is based on FTE .
I think HR will be rolling their eyes and trying not to laugh at you .

Your best option is to negotiate a pay rise but remember this will be based on full time.
