Per annum,Pro rata

[zozotickle]

Im really confused.there is a job advertised for a case worker. 18.5 hours per week. salary at 15,000- 17000 per annum, per rata. What does this per annum, per rata mean? what salary would i get paid?

[efc]

If i understand this correctly the 15k - 17k is for full time hours. Probably about 37 hours per week. Per annum is the Annual pay. As the job is for 18.5 hours then you would earn half of the full time rate. ie 7,500 - 8,500.

[ChuffingHell]

Per annum refers to per year. �10,000 per annum would be �10,000 per year.

Pro rata refers to a proportionate salary of the overall salary based on how many hours you do.

So, given your example, there are a couple of things you have to guess:

Assume the annual salary is �16,000
Full time hours set at 40 hours per week

You would take 16,000 divide it by 40 and multiply by 18.5. = �7,400.

As above, altho' perhaps the 15,000 is the amount you would start on. The 17,000 would then be the maximum you could go up to on whatever scale they use.

...sorry, i meant, 'pro rata' ie. the equivalent of the 15,000/17,000 - hope that clarifies.......
