I'm currently on 31 hours, how much extra pay will the rise give me a week?

Thanks.

The rise is 31p an hour, £9.61 for 31 hours before tax and insurance.

Just a quick question on the October pay rise for part timers as part of the Shorter Working Week, on behalf of a newbie colleague. Should the pay rise include any part timers with less than 12 months service as at 1 October 2018 or are they excluded from the deal? He started just before last Christmas.

Part timers didn't get a pay rise.

FT hours were reduced by an hour. Typically PT is roughly 2/3 of FT, so if FT came down by an hour, PT should have come down by 40 minutes - but didn't. So PT working, relative to FT hours, has gone up.

They could have reduced PT hours by 40 minutes but the agreement was to keep it the same and pay PT for the extra 40 minutes.

Clear as mud?

Part Timers got a payrise, so did full timers... yes it includes new starters.

Everyone's hourly rate went up.

Part Timers got a payrise, so did full timers.

Full-time staff did not get a pay rise.
They got a pay-rate rise.
Their take home pay did not go up.

Thanks for the answers. I know someone who will be checking their pay slips very closely tonight!

Exactly. FT: same money but for an hour less.

So the part timers have been overlooked again with this shorter working week?

CWU done the usual and f@@ked us over again!! Our reps have been telling us we are due back pay in November..

Surely p/t should be getting something?

Everything within this company is about conflict...

Yes if you call a 2.6% pay rise being overlooked.

You can't jump to being outraged, when you've completely misunderstood the situation.

Part-timers got a pay-rise at the same time the Full-timers adopted the shorter working week.

The payrise was equivalent to the reduction in hours for FT staff:

1/39 x 100 = 2.56%

This does however throw up some interesting situations, especially considering how misused Part-time contracts have been. For example, reserves on part-time contracts that mostly work Full-time will now get paid more per hour for working Full-time than Full-timers do. It almost compensates for the holiday pay inequality (but not quite).
