Could be the op is saying s/he is on a zero hour contract? In the NHS the term was "bank staff" we got paid only for what we worked with no holidays/sick pay etc

Sounds like 'rolled up' holiday pay then which is also illegal:

I work in finance for a large school, £22k. However, I get 3 months holiday a year so my pro-rata salary is more like £29k for comparison.

Hoping to be promoted later this year which should mean an increase to £27k - again, this is pro-rata and the comparison salary would be about £35k.

Benefits - 13 weeks annual holiday, final salary pension and working with a complete mixture of people - teachers, admin staff and kids.

mmm... not quite it depends a little, see this little extract from the Citzen's Advice Bureau's Website.

_________________________________________________
How much holiday pay should you get

Your employer will pay your holiday pay at the same rate as your normal pay. You may get a higher rate of holiday pay if your contract gives you the right to a higher rate.
If you do casual work, or work irregular hours and aren't sure how to work out how much holiday pay you're entitled to, you should contact an experienced adviser, for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau. For details of your nearest CAB, including those who give advice by e-mail, click on nearest CAB.
Some employers and employment agencies may say that your hourly rate of pay includes an amount for holiday pay, and that they expect you to save this part of your pay to cover your holidays. This is known as 'rolled up' holiday pay. Rolled up holiday pay may be against the law unless your holiday pay is paid on top of your basic pay and it's clear what the amount of rolled up holiday pay is. For example, the amount of rolled up holiday pay should be clearly set out in your payslip.
If you think you are getting rolled up holiday pay, you should contact an experienced adviser, for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau. For details of your nearest CAB, including those who give advice by e-mail, click on nearest CAB.

Top and bottom is, most workers (exceptions are those in forces, etc) are entitled to holiday pay whatever the type of contract

From the replies that I have read a lot of people have salaries in the 25K range give or take.
So £25000 / (40 hours per wk * 52 wks) Gets you £12 per hour

Which is a lot by most people

What I want to know is why are these people on MoneySavingExpert.com
If I was on that kind of money do I still need to know about getting Cheap Car Insurance, Amazon Buying Tricks and Best Balance Transfers

Makes someone on minimize wage wonder

I'm not working at the minute but my OH is a nights assistant duty manager for a well known supermarket (just had interview for the full title of nights duty manager though). He's 25. He works 50 hours per week, 10 hours a night but most of the time works on. He earns £18,500 per year gets profit share every April, has a pension, 10% discount plus he's a qualified first aider so he gets paid a lump sum each year for that (not sure how much that is).

He's been in the company for 7 years mostly in supervisor roles and now he's a manager his pay gets reviewed each year. Will have to wail until May for that though.

That's a very black and white way of looking at things. If you read people's stories on here there are a million and one different reasons why people earning more than £25k need help from MSE.

Personally, although I earn £33k, which is a lot by your standards, I didn't earn anything like that for a very long time and accrued a lot of debt in the meantime. I also live in London and many MSE-ers will know that £33k in London is not a lot to live off, especially if you are single.

Plaitey

Payroll Officer £19,465 for a Museum (north west). Moved job in Aug 09 due to severe stress in previous role and took a £3k pay cut. No stress but rather quiet and I am contemplating looking for another role to challenge me and to pay me more for my experience and qualifications!

Devontrish

I have 2 jobs both within Youth Work:
Trainee youth support worker (10 hours) approx £4,000 pa
Trainee Senior youth support worker (18.5 hrs) £9,500 pa
About to start NVQ3 so salary will rise...which won't help me as it will put me over the £15K mark, and i will start paying back student loan!!!
Perks of the job...good hours (although a lot of evenings), varied work, GREAT fun, could pay into pensiom fumd but don't, and my bosses are pretty flexible with my hours as i am a single mum with 4 kids.
Downside...hmmm work for local council, which has just changed to Tories...and it looks like there could be massive shake up of youth provision after the general election...my 18.5hr contract could go!
