pro rata and working term time only!

I have a friend who is going for a job at a school, so she will only be working for about 40 weeks of the year. The salary is �13500 pro rata. Could anyone work out how much she could take home, oh and she will be working for 35 hoursa week. This pro rata business is a con, i think!!!

Why is the pro rata bit a con?  if she only works 40 weeks per year, why should she get paid for 52?  Although maybe I can see where you are coming from, they should just advertise the job at the rate for 40 weeks per year, not 52.

If it is �13500 per annum, then this equates to �259.62 per week.  If she will be working 40 weeks p.a, she will get 40 x �259.62 = �10384.80.  Before tax and NI.  If she gets paid monthly, over 12 months, 10384.80 / 12 = �865.40 gross.

I can't work out 'take home' pay as I'm rubbish at working out tax and national insurance!

Another thing to bear oin mind is that although the job is pro-rata your friend will be paid for more than the 40 weeks she works.  I work in Education and my job is pro-rata.  I work 42 weeks a year but am paid for 46.

You need to consider that your freind will get paid evenly every month/week. even during that long summer holiday and half terms...it does work out.
