How do I work 'term time only' out?

I have just applied for a new job, the post is full time, Teaching Assistant in a primary school, however, I don't want to leave my current job for less money.

The Salary is 19,200 term time only. Does anybody know how to work this out?

Any help much appreciated

    this might help to work out how many weeks of a year in your area children in primary schools attend. Then you will be able to work out a simple calc for 19200 pro rata for the amount of weeks you will work.

    From http://www.thesite.org/workandstudy/working/workersrights/proratapay:
    • Divide the full time annual salary by 52
    • Divide that answer by the full time number of hours per day (this will give you the hourly rate)
    • Multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours you work each week (this will give you a weekly salary)
    • Multiply this by 52 or the number of weeks worked (this will give you an annual salary)
    • Divide this by 12 if you want to know your monthly salary

    I think there's a minimum of 38 school weeks, but usually 39 school weeks. Sometimes up to 40 depending on where the holidays fall.

    I work term time, 39 weeks of the year but get paid for 43.89.

    It usually says on the advert the actual salary, I know in our Local Authority we do.

    Good luck.
