Change of pay rates - salary

ceecee1

Hi, can you just put my head around this please

I changed my contracted working hours on the 30th of the month so was paid full time up to the 30th and then part time for the 31st.

If I was being paid my new rate for the full month it wouldn't have confused me so much. I have checked employer policy and salary is calculated by dividing by 12 and then by 7.

I know that I do not work 365 days a year and it makes sense to me that this is the way that a monthly salary is calculated but my payslip shows that for the one day on 31st I was only paid £33 for the day.
And thats the bit that I cant get my head around.

Looking at it on face value I earned less than the minimum wage for the one days work.

Can you convince me that I earned more than that for my 6 hour day please

And how is anyone going to do that when they don't know what your salary or deductions are?

In my place of work, annual salary divided by 12 to give a monthly salary. If I take an unpaid day off in the month they work out a daily rate - monthly salary divided by the number of days in the month and deduct this day rate (so an unpaid day off in February means a greater loss to me than an unpaid day off in march). Is it possible that your company have worked out day rates by this method?

if they are dividing a weeks pay by 7 and only deducting one day then that is great if you work less than 7 days.
