what does pro rota mean?

Answer 1

I think you mean pro rata. It means proportional, for example holiday is allocated on a pro rata basis when you first join a company based on your length of service and the time of year you joined. Best to look it up in a dictionary mate.

Answer 2

Pro rata means proportional, and I would guess you're talking about pay. Part time jobs are often advertised as having a salary of £xxxxx pro rata. This means that this is the amount if it was a full time job, but as a part time job you would get a proportion of that depending on how many hours you worked. Hard to work out exactly unless you know how many hours they consider to be full time - usually 40 or 42 per week, so a 20 hour part time job would be half the pro rata salary.

Answer 3

Do you mean Pro Rata ?

From the Latin
'pro', according to
+ 'ratus', calculated

== 'in proportion'

SO, for example, if they pay Annual Salary of £40,000 per year for a 40 Hour week and the job is Part Time = 20 hours a week 'Pro-Rata', then you will be paid £20,000 a year.

If you earn £4,000 a month, and hand in your notice at the end of the first week and your notice period is 2 weeks, then (for this month) you get paid 'pro-rata' for 3/4 of the month = £3,000.

Answer 4

Pro rata in a job advertisement shows that a specific job attracts a salary of £x per year.

However the role advertised is part-time and therefore will attract a proportion of that annual salary.

So, for example, if the annual salary is £25k pro rata and you work 3 days per week, you would earn three fifths of £25k = £15k.

Answer 5

"pro rata" is a Latin term meaning "in proportion to" or "according to the rate".
For example: Say I buy something with a Friend. We agree that I pay three-quarters of the cost and my Friend pays one-quarter. Later we decide to sell the item. We each receive our pro rata share of the proceeds. I receive three-quarters of the money we received and my Friend receives one-quarter of the proceeds.
