Questions

Frequently asked
questions.

How do I calculate a pro-rata salary?

Divide your contracted hours by the full-time hours for the role and multiply by the full-time salary. 20 hours in a 40-hour role on £30,000 is £15,000.

Do part-time workers get bank holidays?

Statutory leave of 5.6 weeks can include bank holidays. Part-time workers are entitled to a pro-rata share of any bank holidays full-time staff receive, regardless of which days they work.

Is pro-rata pay taxed differently?

No. Your tax depends on your actual pay. A lower pro-rata salary may fall below the Personal Allowance or the NI threshold.

How is holiday worked out for irregular hours?

For irregular-hours and part-year workers, holiday for leave years from April 2024 accrues at 12.07% of hours worked in each pay period.
