    She thinks she should have got more ie £476.47?? That's what online calculator says?

    Gross Pay and Net Pay says the same ie £414.99

    The online calculator has simply divided the annual salary of £5,718 by twelve.

    If your friend wants to know why her gross pay was less than one twelfth of £5,718 she is just going to have to contact the payroll department of her employer and ask them how they calculated it.

    The rest of us will just be guessing.

    My partners company pays off a 53 week year and he gets an extra wage near Christmas - anything like this?

    Does the company need clocking in and out, has she been doing this? My company has a 2 minute rule, we must clock in at 7:58 and can't clock out until 20:02 or we lose 15 minutes.

    Did she work a week in advance?

    Deductions for uniforms or anything?

    Better off taking it in and asking the payroll. There is many reasons why it may fall a bit short.

    When did we go to 53 week years?
    Well, given that most months are more than 28 days long, my google calendar usually shows 53 weeks in a year, and if I need a weekly calculation that's usually the way I go.

    The OP's friend would be short-changed if the employer multiplied NMW by 15 hours by 52 weeks to get to an annual salary which was then divided b 12, wouldn't they?

    There are 365 or 366 days in a year. There are 7 days in a week. 365 divided by 7 is 52.14.

    NMW calculations don't work that way.

    extra days in a month over the 28 account for the extra 4 weeks to make 52.

    There are 13x4 week(28 day) periods and an extra day(or 2) in a year).

    Using 53 weeks is way off.
