Pay rise in april

[Vera]

Well had a payment in November on the understanding that it was estimated and the school wanted all support staff to have it before dec. and when the pay rise comes through it would be paided back.
Well i got just over £800 in nov ( estimated ) and this months pay got my pay rise just over £500 so was deducted just over the £800. So now i'm £300 short.
so not as much as i thought.

Are you paid on the NJC pay scales Wonderwoman?
It seems not, but if so why the delay for your pay rise? surely that should have been sorted in April/September (whenever the year end is)
Also why the estimated amount they are the ones deciding pay rises so they must have known...

Weird, estimates? should be a fairly simple calculation..

My thoughts exactly… it would take a much to work out. To be out by £300 sound more like they took a blind and wild stab in the dark !!

Wonderwoman- are you full time? are you an LA school? The approximate pay rise was £1900 over a year, which in simple terms after stoppages was around £100 per month on 37 hours week. Based on this April through to November was 8 months therefore approximately £800. it may/may not have been slightly different due to tax thresholds etc We will also receive a small increase from NI payments this month- again only £20-30 extra dependent on salary.
Not sure how they got to your figures? unless you are part time and they over paid the rise hence the short fall this month.

I was 37 hour until dec 23 then went down to 15 hours so i think they may have calculated wrong. I wasn't sure because everyone doesn't like talking about their pay in school, iv nothing to hide so i don't mind.
I work for the LA but our school is part of a federation so our pay is done through some one else.
I think i may have to have a word with our HR.

I think that would be wise, it is a difficult situation but it isn't too difficult to work out what back you were owed so I have no idea why they should need to estimate and get it so badly wrong.

Good luck.

Don't understand how they got it so wrong. 37hrs per week x 52 weeks = 1924hrs, so its £1 per hour. If you do 15hrs per week its £15 per week before stoppages. Not a difficult calculation.

If they've overpaid by that much, I hope they can take it back in installments.
