How it is worked out
- 1Part-time pay is the full-time salary multiplied by your hours divided by 37.5.
- 2Leave and public holidays are given in hours in the same proportion.
- 3Your pension tier is based on what you actually earn, so part-time staff often pay a lower rate.
Worth knowing
- Extra hours up to 37.5 a week are paid at plain time, plus any unsocial hours enhancement.
Common questions
