Hi,

I have just applied for my ideal job, however, I am a little confused on how to calculate the pay!? As I dont want to waste anyone's time should I be lucky enough to get an interview I want to make sure the job will be enough money.

Ok, details are:

Band B, SCP 9-13 (£13,610 - £15,444) (£7.05 - £8.01 per hour)
37 hours per week, term time only.
The council site states teacher working days would be 195 day per year which works out at 39 weeks (guess it is same for support staff).

So I take it I would start on the low rate.

So is this calculation correct:

£7.05 x 37 hours per week = £260.85 x 39 weeks = £10173.15 per year.

Or is there an holiday allowance also I have to take into account.

Any advice would be appreciated as I am currently on slightly more money.

But really want the job so need to make it work!!, oh and actually get an interview first, and then the job!!

Hi
Yep that looks right to me.i work in a school and you usually get paid for only 38 or 39 weeks a year (unless youre a teacher)That's the right amount, don't forget you would be taxed on that too

Hi,

I work in a school and you are paid for around 45 weeks of the year including holidays. So you would multiply the lower rate of pay by 37 to give you your weekly salary and then multiply by 45 to give you your annual salary and then divide by 12 to give you your monthly gross pay.

Hope this helps.

going by the yearly amounts posted, it looks like that its 52 weeks a year as 260.85 * 52 = 13 564.2

Well I think each school must be different, so it is best to check with them. In my area many jobs are only paid term time only, which for most schools is about 39 weeks a year, so 45 sounds like a lot, because even teachers don't work 45 weeks a year (isn't there usually 12 weeks holiday in a year?)

Hi,

Thanks for your all your replies.

Nicola and Caroline - can I ask what jobs you do in a school, I am applying for school administrator so not sure if we are classed different to other school jobs like teachers.

I have searched online and cant find anything out for definate, I am not sure if they have to pay you for statuory holiday entitlement also which then as Nicola says above would work out at about 45 weeks. But it may be different in different areas. Will wait and see if I even get interview, school jobs are so hard to get into.

But if I was lucky enough I think even with having to take a little pay cut it would be worth it, get to spend extra time with my girls in the school holidays.

Pssst!

I work in a school. I get 39 weeks standard pay and then 13 weeks holiday pay but it's about 25% of my standard pay.

You have quoted £13,610 as the lower rate.
Surely then this is divisible by 12 monthly payments to include holidays.
This is £1134.16 every month whether you work or are off.?
You are still paid over the holidays because this is included in the pay scale.
This is my understanding of how they pay school salaries?

Can't find your answer?

37 hours is full time in our LA and you can only work term time if you think about it. Unless the advert says pro rata this is the rate.

Emma W(1671)

Agreed. Mine is pro rata.

Eve F... Cache Level 3 is best, some will accept level 2 but at the moment there's a lot of people wanting not many jobs so you're better of going the extra level. Also loads of experience; volunteering in schools and private daycare. And if you want to guarantee you get the job, when you are vounteering take up all the training opportunities available like safeguarding, first aid and epilepsy training etc
