Gone from full time to part time: what should I be paid?

Ok, it took two pages, but it is finally clear that your problem is what happened when you went part time at your old employer. You really need to try and present information more clearly.

Forget tax. Forget NI. Forget your new employer. Forget "rounding up and rounding down".

Find out what you were paid gross at your old employer for 40 hours a week, and gross at your old [EDIT] employer for 24 hours a week.

If the second figure is less than 24/40 * the first figure, then they gave you a pay cut.

That's all.

I still don!!!8217;t think you!!!8217;ve got it.

OP worked at employer A full time. Got paid a wage of 1300 net(I think...). Then they switched to part time and got paid ~£800 net

Then moved to employer B and said !!!8216;I need to be paid £800!!!8217; so they!!!8217;ve paid her £800 (which is now less due to tax) there is no issue of a pay cut here as they paid what they were asked to pay.

Now they are wondering whether employer A gave them a pay cut when moving from full time to part time, but has no idea what they were actually paid only what they got in their bank account so we have no idea how to help.

You are right...I said "new" when I meant to say old. Have edited accordingly. The new employer is irrelevant.

Employer A did give me a pay cut. But by accident. He worked it out using my take home pay and not my gross pay. So I should have been taking Home £912 but I was taking Home £800.
I!!!8217;ve now moved to employer B and asked for £800 and that!!!8217;s what they!!!8217;re paying me, which is really annoying because employer A worked my pay out wrong. So because of his idiocy and because I never thought to check (I!!!8217;ve not been part time before so I wasn!!!8217;t sure how to work it out, which is why I was trying to ask here), I!!!8217;ve now lost £1300 per year in pay and gone back to what I!!!8217;ve built up over 5 years. I am so livid. You trust your employer to know how to work out your wages!!

I know it hasn!!!8217;t got anything to do with employer B. It!!!8217;s just irritating that!!!8217;s all. I!!!8217;ve had a pay cut through no fault of my own and now I!!!8217;m stuck with it. Guess it!!!8217;s time to find another new job.

You say it is no fault of your own, but of course it is. You asked for an amount, and we!!!8217;re given an amount. How you can claim this is unfair, or not your fault, is not clear.

Now, what do you intend to do about it?

As another poster said, the salary calculator website is really good. Type either the full time salary and then the calculator will work out the pro rata amount or just put the salary for your hours and it will work out the take home pay.
Its important to check your pay. I was underpaid for 18 months once due to being in the wrong tax code!
