Problem with hourly rate

lmswan17

Hi there,

I am looking for advice on how to best confront an issue I am having with my hourly rate at work. I am a trainee veterinary nurse (29 years old) who works 40.5 hours a week. My yearly salary is £14942.46 a year which works out at £7.10 an hour but according to my employer I get paid £7.70. How would be best to address this issue without causing issues with my employer? My employer is paying for my training but due to this I am tied in for 2 years otherwise need to pay back my training fees.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Stupid question, but are you including your lunch hour in this? As it's unpaid!

lmswan17

Nope that not including lunch hour.

Is your contract for 40.5? If so, mention it.

lmswan17

Yeah contract is for 40.5 hours but just not sure how to approach it

If hours paid are 40.5, I get your rate at 7.0761

Yep, and your employer is breaking the law.

It's probably a genuine error, send a polite email.

What are your shifts in a typical week?

now is a good time with the living wage rise.

living wage * hours = ? question to employer.

say you saw that 39hrs was more than you get paid so can they check/explain your pay.

if they can't get the pay right...
how much holiday do you get?
