GemSherry Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hi everyone First post for me. Wondered if anyone had any experience of moving from an hourly rate pay to a salaried. I think this would help us manage our costs and outgoings more efficiently but I have no idea where to start on this process. Thank you in advance, Gemma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSFRebecca Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 HI GemSherry, Welcome to FSF it's lovely to have you here with us Well done on making your first post! I've just done exactly what you have suggested and it has taken an extremely long time, but I think (hope) it will be worth it in the end! From memory, this was the process I went through: Researched local area salary scales for the same / similar jobs (so that I knew if my 'ball park figures' were accurate) Worked out what the full time equivalent salary would be if we simply multiplied the hourly rates up (we took 38 hours a week to be 'full time' so the calculation was 38 hours x 52 weeks x hourly rate) Worked out how far off the salary scales my current equivalent salaries were and made adjustments Worked out what I was going to do about sick days / over time / holidays Worked out if I could afford the pay rise required to get the pay differentials right (so that the higher qualified staff were paid more) Worked out what the new salary structure needed to be to demonstrate and enable career progression Introduced the idea to staff and explained how the calculations had worked 1 term consultation period to address any concerns Meeting to announce our intention to change from 1st April and 'statement of changes' letter for each member of staff Hope that gives you some ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
