Current Contract
My current rota template is this:
It's a fairly standard 1 in 6 rota. It works, and we're happy working in this pattern. It's banded a 1A.
Therefore, current base pay is £34402 as a CT2. With a 1A supplement (50%), my gross pay goes up to £51603.
New Contract
The unsocial hours are recategorised as above. Now here's the fun. Using the rota template, I will slot hours into each category.
| Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Total (Total/6) | Enhanced hrs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mon-Fri 07-22hr, Sat 07-19hr | 12 | 45 | 48 | 54 | 4 | 36 | 199 (33.17) | 33.17 |
| Sat 19-22hr | - | - | - | 1 | 2 | - | 3 (0.5) | x1⅓ = 0.67 |
| Sun 07-22hr | - | - | - | 12 | 3 | - | 15 (2.5) | x1⅓ = 3.33 |
| 22-07hr | 36 | - | - | - | 27 | - | 63 (10.5) | x1½ = 15.75 |
| Total | 48 | 45 | 48 | 67 | 36 | 36 | 280 (46.67) |
As mentioned, it's a working rota and seems to fit within legal limits.
The sum of the total hours therefore equals 52.92. The new proposed basic pay is £37400 equating to an average hourly rate of £17.98.
Therefore 52.92 x 17.98 x 52 = 49477.
Therefore, my counterpart next year working the exact same hours in August 2016 will be earning a gross pay of £49477.
This is a pay loss of £2126. That's a lot of money considering I have to pay £420/month for staff accomodation which I'm not entitled for reimbursement. This money lost is equivalent to about 5 months of my rent!
However, please let me know if my calculations are wrong (!!)
