Help with Pro rata Teachers Pay

DamonF1

Hi

My wife left her job before the end of the school year. She works at a school and she is paid pro rata.

The issue we are having is that they are asking us to repay some wages as she left half way through the month and she was paid for the whole month.

I understand that but she has worked 34 of the 39 weeks but has only been paid until the day she left. They are saying if she worked the rest of the year she would have been entitled to her full salary. Meaning if she worked another 5 weeks she would have been paid 12.

So she has worked 86% of the school year but they are saying she is only entitled to 79%. Surely this incorrect?

Can anyone help me please understand this?

you need somebody with teaching experience so can you edit the title to include the words 'teacher's pay'? That might just catch someone's eye.

If it was me I'd first contact the school again to ask for their explanation of the discrepancy. Then if you don't agree you can post again asking for further help.

You need somebody to go through the fine print of the employment contract to get to the bottom of this one.
