im thinking of applying for a job which the salary is advertised as pro rata. its in a nursery school, so would have all the school holidays off. would i be paid for all those weeks holidays?

ok, it would be £20895 per yr, and the monthly salary for 5 days a week would be £1365 before deductions. im just confused, and need to know if this means id be paid the same every month, regardless of the school holidays!

If the job was worth £25,000 per year (say) for a 5 day week and you could only work 4 days you would be paid 4/5 x £25000=£20,000 that is pro rata the full salary for the days worked.
If they say you are paid pro rata £25,000 for the days you work they are probably saying that you are not paid for the days you dont work - including the summer holidays
there are 253 working days in a year excluding public holidays and weekends. Normally you would be paid for public holidays and an annual holiday of say 4-5 weeks.
assuming that this job had a 5 week entitlement and assuming it was £25,000 per year the rate you would be paid per day would be
365-104(weekend days) = 261days or £95.79 per day
anything that you took off in excess of the 8 public holidays and 25 days leave would cost you £95.79 per day

Pro Rata Explained

Pro rata means depending on the hours you work. If the job is full time you will get the full salary and this would be paid monthly in equal installments, so even if you do not work for the whole of August (lucky you) you would still get paid.
However if you are only going to work part time, eg half the week you would half the salary. You would still get this paid in 12 equal installments.

To work out a pro rata you need to divide the amount they state into whatever proportion of the year you work eg £20,000 pa for a full time job (37 hours)- pro rata for part time (18 1/2 hours) would be half that ie £10,000 pa.
Most schools divide your yearly salary into 12 months so youre paid each month. If the wage is quoted as monthly it may already be worked out that way, youd have to check with them.

Equivalent to a full timer.
For example if someone works 40 hours a week at say £400
then they advertise a job at 20 hours a week pro rata, you work half the hours (20 a week) for exactly half the money (£200)

Pro rata in this instance means that a full time job 40 hours p.w. is £x but as you are only working 20 hours you only get half, as to the holidays my GUESS is no you would not get paid, but hey I could be wrong.

Pro rate is usually applied to wages.
I.e. a job advert may say, salary 20k a year pro rata
This would be the wage for a full time employees. If you took a part time job, say doing half the hours of a full timer, you would be paid half the full time wage, i.e. 10k

in proportion to.
In other words you would be paid for the number of hours you do in proportion to the usual full time wage.
Whethre you get paid for the holidays depends on how your contract is worded.

pro rata refers to the level of experience . more equals more. Lesser experienced will get less.
