Term time pay help

12 replies

Hi

I've just started a new position at a school. It's a part time job and I work 15 hours per week. It's a second job to boost my income.

The full time pay is £30,859.08. But I'm unsure of the full time hours per week.

I am required to work 39 weeks, but not entiled to annual leave.

How do I work out the monthly pay please. I've used the calculators but it's all just confusing.

Thanks all for your help 🙂

My FT school hour are 37.
If yours are the same, and you are correct about no holiday pay (are you sure?) The sum is (39/52)(15/37)salary.

But id suspect you will get 5.6 weeks pay too, so
(44.6/52)(15/37)salary

Thanks DoublePeonies for your reply. I need to read my contract again, but I definitely know I'm not entitled to annual leave as my job hours are minimal. But thanks all the same 😀

I think you may be getting confused between you are not able to take annual leave when it's term time. They still have to pay you for your annual leave so you work 15 hours a week for 39 weeks. You will be entitled to 45 ish weeks annual leave pay. This will be added on to your monthly salary normally. It would be illegal for them not to pay you your holiday entitlement.

You will still be entitled to annual leave. I work part time and TTO and I get the equivalent of 6 weeks AL. So I get paid for 45 weeks and have 7 weeks unpaid.

You will be paid annual leave but you don't get to take it in term time. So you will be paid for -
37 weeks (approx depending on when your schools open)
5.6weeks holiday pay
=42.6 weeks

So 30859 /52 x 42.6 = 25,280/ 37x 15=10,248

So a rough monthly income £855

You have a legal entitlement to annual leave you just do t get to choose when.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to reply. Especially if you took the time to do the calculations for me!!!!! I'm extremely grateful 🤗🤗🤗🤗. I like to know my budget and how much I have to spend/save especially with the summer holidays coming up.

When did you start working for the school, and when do they break up? It is likely you won't receive a lot of pay if you have only just started.

Most schools (not all) work on a September to August year for pay. So they will work out the hours you work from when you started until end of August. This means if you are due to break up soon you will receive very little salary and holiday uplift pay for July and August.

And then salary from September to August next year will be the normal amount you expect to receive. If you leave mid way through an academic year you could end up owing them money depending on where you are in the pay cycle as you get a set amount each month worked out over the 12 months.

Just didn't want you to overspend and get a shock!

Assuming a 37.5hr working week is standard and that you receive the minimum of 4 weeks holiday pay as the schools is already closed for Bank Holidays, then I think you would be paid around £827pm.

If you work Mondays you might receive a little less than this and if you don't work Mondays you should receive a little more than this.

Thanks,.I started 8th July as waited for my DBS check to which took ages. So I'm aware that it won't be as much. But they are breaking up on Tuesday 23rd July. Also I've gone through my contract and it doesn't state the cut off point for the end of pay cycle. I just know that it's the last working day per month and the pay slip is sent the day before.

I'm used to working daily as my previous job within a school was all year around. But this pro rata pay is just mind boggling!

Yes, I'm working Monday- Friday, so bank holidays should be included.
