Anyone explain Pro Rata

I'm guessing the full salary would be paid 365 days a year and pro rata (term time only) would be 'less' the holidays.
Say 52 weeks was a 20Kpa salary but term time consisted of 35 weeks then you would get 35 / 52 = 67%. So 67% of 20Kpa would equate to 13.4Kpa.

The other way it might be pro rata is if it's not a set amount of days so you would be paid for the amount of days you did.

Karen,
It works just the same as "normal" pro rata. We have some staff who work term time only and whatever their annual salary is continues to be divided into 12 equal monthly payments so that they have a salary over the holidays.

If for example the salary was £12.000 per year including 4 weeks holiday they would earn £1000 per month.

If the same salary included 12 weeks holiday they would earn £10,000 per year (approx) divided into 12 monthly payments.

These are made up figures but that is roughly how it works-the personnel or wages department of the company should be able to tell your friend what the exact yearly earnings are taking into account all the deductions and she just needs to divide it by 12 to get her approx monthly earnings.

Thank you she has not got the job yet, she isanowasingle parent and studying but does not want the children to see her on benefits. So trying to get a couple well three part time jobs this oneis evening receptionist at an adult education college, 3 evenings a week. She rang me to ask me and I am sitting here befuddled by the medication from these darned kidney stones. SO my head is drifting in and out.

Good question! Pro rata holiday pay is what baffles me.
