Can some one help me with a pro rata calculation?

In which case, working out the pro-rata rate as two fifths of the full-time rate would be completely correct.

That only works if the OP is being paid for 7 hours and 48 mins of the day. This is pretty unlikely as the OP has given us the hours they work 9-5pm with a 30 min lunch break.

In order to make your calculation correct you would be making the assumption that the OP is paid for 18 mins of their lunch break and 12 mins of it is unpaid. That's a fairly unlikely assumption.

We've come up with a variety of answers based on these variables, and presumably the OP is happy with this, as they now seem to have bowed out of this debate!

I conceded right from the start that you were being helpful but my comments were simply about pedantry.
