working out term time pay.

[nomski100]

Interested to know how others work out term time staff pay. I have a member of staff starting next week. She will be working 31 hours per week, 38 weeks per year on £8.00 hour. I will spread her payments out over the months so will have a annual figure divided by 12 equal payments.

I have the figure £10,564.80 divided by 12 = £880.40 a month. Anyone with a different figure? :huh:

How much holiday pay have you included? Have you checked that you are only working or are in for 38 weeks per year? I know there have been lots of discussions on here on the 38 versus 39 week year.

you need to add in holiday pay...go to the acas website and use the calculator to work out how many hours she will accrue over the 38 weeks.

This is also a useful calculator from the .gov website. Holiday leave calculator. There is also a useful page about how the leave should be paid.

Just a suggestion but I think I would calculate everything until Aug 17 (including holiday pay) and then divide by 8 months. Then start afresh in September.

31 hours per week @ £8p/h = £248.00 p/w

 

If she works 38 weeks per year (term time only) £248.00 x 38 weeks = £9424.00 total

 

She should qualify (depending on start date and how you do it) 21 days per year for holidays

 

We usually let staff take these days paid out of term so an additional 21 days x 6.2? = 130.2 hours x £8 = £1041.60

 

OR they can take them during term time to reduce this additional amount, if possible or mix it up.

 

I worked out the 21 days from using the usual 28 days from a full time 52 weeks allowance.. and knowing that 38 weeks is 3/4 of 52 weeks.. simply mulitplying 28 by 75% = 21 days

 

Depending on days worked ie Mondays, for example they will off for Bank Holidays and also some Fridays of course although we find that only 1 Bank Holiday (not inc XMAS period) fall within the 38 weeks out of term.
