Hiya
I just joined the RM, and my contract is 40 hours/week.
Here is my question.
Case 1) I work from Mon to Fri, 7 hours a day, Sat and Sun are day-off. So, my total weekly working hour is 35 hours. The salary of this week will count as 40 hours, right?
Case 2) I work from Mon to Fri, 7 hours a day. On Sat, I did overtime, and work 5 hours. And Sun is a day-off. My total weekly working hour is 40 hours. The salary will count as 40 hours right?
Thank you.

Re: Salary calculation

The way it is done though is you will be given an annual pay which is divided into 12 equal amounts which means you get paid the same amount every month (obviously this doesn’t include any OT worked). Your first pay will be the monthly amount divided by the amount of days in that month and then times the amount of days from your starting date (this will be the full amount if you started on the 1st August). Your contract should state your official starting date and probably won’t include the induction course.
You should see a ‘pay rate’ in a header on your payslip, this is the 40 hour amount. Depending on how many hours your contract is for you should divide that by 40 and times how many hours you are contracted to get your monthly amount you should get every month for your base pay. For your first months pay divide that by the number of days in the month (31 in August) and time it by the days from the start of your contract date till 31st.

Have you been given a 40 hour contract? Didnt think they did anything over 30 anymore.hkccm wrote: ↑31 Aug 2023, 12:42Hiya

Thank you.
You are not paid a salary in the sense that you work whatever you are told and get paid x amount like in some other higher paid jobs.
If you are on a 40 hour contract expect that over 5 days you'll be on shifts which total 40 hours. You may find that you leave early some days (questionable at the moment) but you'll be paid you base rate of 40 hours.
If you come in on a day off for OT, you'll be paid for the extra work.
I'm turning purple!

Re: Salary calculation
Why on earth would RM pay you for 40 hours work when you've only worked 35 hours? I assume in case 1 RM will have you working 8 hours a day, in case 2 as the other poster suggested you'll get paid 5 hours o/t.hkccm wrote: ↑31 Aug 2023, 12:42Hiya

Re: Salary calculation
From chatting to a new start, seems the extra few hours is instead of the "Sunday supplement" on the previous contracts, so they work weds-sun 37 hours and get 3 hours extra (on a lower base rate than older staff) instead of the Sunday bung. I assume it all works out in RMs favour

They don’t, at ours they have to work every minute of the 40 hours and have every Monday and Tuesday off for their troubles.Kenfandango wrote: ↑31 Aug 2023, 20:20From chatting to a new start, seems the extra few hours is instead of the "Sunday supplement" on the previous contracts, so they work weds-sun 37 hours and get 3 hours extra (on a lower base rate than older staff) instead of the Sunday bung.

Re: Salary calculation
Utter crap. Most doms messed up the new contracts. They forgot the new contracts don't have paid breaks, Sunday premium ect. Some are even still advertising the old rate of £11.49 per hour and I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they will try and pay the new guys. I'm a rep at DWP now and can't understand why on earth you'd are putting up with this s**t. A work to rule keeps all the money in your pockets but surely would bring RM to the table quick styl. Also ward and co really need to do one.Kenfandango wrote: ↑31 Aug 2023, 20:20From chatting to a new start, seems the extra few hours is instead of the "Sunday supplement" on the previous contracts, so they work weds-sun 37 hours and get 3 hours extra (on a lower base rate than older staff) instead of the Sunday bung.
