What local authority do you work for0

you get £773.06 per month, you work 30 hours per week, you are going to work 38 weeks therefore if you worked a full year you would earn £773.06 x 12months =£9,276.72, this works out at £178.40 per week for a 30 hour week which equals £5.95 per hour. ignore any reference to holidays, they only confuse the issue as you are paid when off aswellBe Alert..........Britain needs lerts.0

You are wrong, and you keep posting the same wrong info. If the poster works ZERO hours in the school holidays they would still get the 773.06 per month.
Do you work in a school or are you just guessing?? It is not that straightforward!0 -

Its not a special formula for working in a school, its pay recieved divided by the hours worked which equals the hourly rate.
Even when you are off on holiday you are still receiving the same hourly rate, you dont leave these weeks out of the equation as you seem to be doing.Theres no need for any fancy calculations, its straight forward enough.
DO THE MATH!
£6.91/hour works out at £898.30 per month. the op gets £773.06 per month which works out at £5.94/hourBe Alert..........Britain needs lerts.0 -
I give up. I have 7 years working in school admin, but you know best. No more comments from me on this thread.0

The figure I gave of £6.91 is correct, trust me this is part of my job! Holiday pay is spread over the 12 months so you get equal pay each month, as you cannot choose when to take your holiday. If you work 39 weeks (term time plus training days), you get holiday pay for, say 5 weeks including bank holidays, and the remaining 8 weeks are unpaid. This is all spread out over 12 equal pay periods.
£6.91 x 30hrs x 44 weeks = £9,121 pro rata, roughly what you have been told.
£6.91 x 37hrs (full time) x 52 weeks (all year round) = £13,295, roughly the per annum amount you gave!
I don't know what County you are in, but in mine if you are working on the last day of term you should be paid up to the end of the holiday period if you are not going directly into other employment. If you changed schools to start somewhere else at the start of September, they would pay you from the 1st Sept. If you were only paid up to the 23rd July you would receive nothing in August and would also lose your continuous service; this is not on!
Edit: The fact you are not there a full year is irrelevant, any over/under payment will be resolved in your final pay period.
It may be worked out that way but that hourly rate is based on having 12 weeks holiday not 5. which makes no difference to a salaried(no paid overtime) worker as long as, if they don't work a full year the total pay is calculated properly(something the op needs to watch out for)
But for hourly paid workers they are getting diddled for paid overtime.0 -
OP what LA do you work for? PM me, I may be able to find out.0

GavB79 - Sorry some comments have been a bit negative but I appreciate your help because I haven't a clue and neither do the people I work for seem to.
