I have not seen her payslip but I have mine in the private sector for 30 years and it gives my hourly. I also know my yearly.

I did not assume anything as I did not know but was just othering suggestions. She may have over looked the obvious.

Once you know what the full time position is being paid and the hours she/he works. You have the formula to work out the pro-rata

Quite right.


And apologies for the abruptness of my post which you replied to! Like poster #9 I was assuming (again!) that the OP was looking at a job advert, and was a little surprised that someone looking at a £35k job didn't know what pro rata meant. I must be too old.


Having said that, I once worked on a project where the project manager (a lot older than me) used pro rata as a verb. We sort of instinctively knew what "prorated" meant, but it didn't look right (we thought "allocated" or "apportioned" would have been better) and we wasted a lot of time debating whether or not it was a real word.


EDIT: Well, I'm an idiot.:( 25 years after the event I've just checked a dictionary and "prorate" is a verb.:(:(

My wife has worked for the council and as a civil service for most of her 32 years employment. Its common there where you have job share and part-time workers. For many years she use to work 4 days a week. So it sort of came up often.

I understand most just know their annual pay. But once my wife started doing over-time for x1.5, x2 she started taking an interest in what her hourly rate was. :rotfl:

Btw.............I was also trying to be polite. I expected someone looking at 35k would know how to work it out.

No apologies necessary.
