Re: Pay deal
It’ll be slightly more than a week’s pay. For us on 40-hr new contracts it works out to about £107 for each month since April. That means basic pay backpay of £535. It’ll obviously be more for full time legacy-contract staff. In addition, overtime performed since April will be backdated — another £160 or so. I’ve been told legacy staff receiving allowances will get those backdated too.

Re: Pay deal
So about £400 after tax for the legacy staff?

Re: Pay deal
Yeah, maybe £500 after tax if you’ve done a bit of OT during the preceding five months.
Are weekly-paid colleagues now receiving the new rate as at this week or last week (ie just backpay to the end of August is outstanding)?

Re: Pay deal
The new rate won't start until the backpay has been paid surely? If it's not synched you've a scenario where we or the employer are in front of one another.Smoothbackground wrote: ↑07 Sep 2025, 18:56Yeah, maybe £500 after tax if you’ve done a bit of OT during the preceding five months.

Re: Pay deal
Ah, yes, maybe. TBH I’m not sure how it works for those on weekly pay. My fag-packet calcs equated to me being up maybe £750 in September’s pay (obv including the new rate for September itself). Whatever it ends up being after tax, I hope everyone feels the positive effect of a few extra quid. I am hoping to put mine towards a holiday and some winter sun.Racingpostie wrote: ↑07 Sep 2025, 19:06The new rate won't start until the backpay has been paid surely?

Re: Pay deal
Estimate what your gross pay for the year will be in your September payslip multiply it by 0.042 = backpay.Smoothbackground wrote: ↑07 Sep 2025, 19:31Ah, yes, maybe.

Re: Pay deal
Thanks, that seems a much more straightforward and direct way of doing the calculations. It equates to about the same figure I eventually reached too. Maths has never been a particularly strong point of mine…

Re: Pay deal
I’ve been off sick and used up all my pay. All I have received since April has been some holiday pay. I take it I will only get backdated pay on the holiday pay I have received and nothing else?
