Unpaid leave daily rate when salary is pro rata

Posted by Amber Gormanly on March 29, 2017 at 1:10pm in Employment Law

Hi, when a salary is pro rata, in this particular case because the person works in a school and is not paid during the school holidays, and a days unpaid leave is taken, the amount taken was the full time equivalent daily rate and not the pro rata daily rate, is that correct?

Hi, Thank you all for your help, all the messages went into my email spam folder and being new the the site I didn't think to check for responses. Much appreciated.

Hi Amber, I work in an Academy and Sarah asked me your question but I couldn't find you on the community.
If you need any further information please let me know (or Sarah who can contact me).
Thanks, Nikki

Hi Amber

I asked my learners who work in the academy they said the following to your query:

Basically it is correct, salary is taken as fte as their holiday is all rolled into their annual salary amount.

I hope this helps!

Hello Sarah, no they are full time and permanent but a teaching assistant, the school is an academy.

  Morning Amber
  
  Sounds like we need some specialist input here around calculations for teaching staff, I'm sorry it is not something I am familiar with.
  
  Usually I would calculate a day's leave by dividing the salary by 260.
  
  Can anyone on the Community help Amber?
  
  I've also emailed a couple of my learners who I know work in an Academy enviornment to see if they can help!
  
  All the best
