question about pay

rose23

Hi all..

I dont know if anyone will be able to answer me this but here it goes..

I've been offered a maternity leave cover of 13 hours per week. I am just wondering on average how much will I earn a week. I was thinking of ringing the salaries section in Dept of Ed but Im not sure if they would be able to provide me with this information.

I shouldnt be classified as a new entrant as I taught for two years prior to completeing the PGDE (2010-2011). I have an honours degree and PGDE.

Id appreciate any help as I want to know what I will have to live on!

If you already have a teacher's number (for payroll purposes etc) then you aren't a new entrant.

Everything you need can be found here:

Yeah I dont think I will be classified as new entrant but Im unsure how to calculate how much I will be earning especially after deductions and tax..

Maybe il just have to wait and see in September..

A maternity leave is non-casual so you will be paid according to your point on the scale with holiday pay factored in. I wouldn't know the figures off the top of my head and your tax is a whole other ballgame, but find the gross yearly income for your point on the scale and your qualifications and divide by 52 weeks. At 13 hours, you will be earning 13/22 of the weekly gross. Now, you will get a bit more because of the holiday pay, but then you'll have the tax, USC and whatever else they're charging us these days.

After that, you have to hope someone on here is better at figures than I am:o

Nobody here can answer that because we don't know how you were paid for those two years. Were you being paid on the scale or was it casual subbing. The other thing is no one here knows your tax situation, and what credits you are paying or entitled to.

It's just as deemark said, figure out using the salary scales what point you are on and calculate 13/22 of that to get gross pay. After that only you can figure out what the revenue will take from you.

And finally pick up a 1st year maths book, it tells you how to calculate your pay after tax, just dig out your tax credit cert you received in January. Also take into account if you have unused tax credits this year so far and remember a pension contribution of about 13-14% before tax
