State the annual Whole Time Equivalent (WTE) pensionable pay:
Term time only employees
If the employee is term time, the WTE pay should be calculated including the term-time weeks paid (including holiday entitlement).
Example:
WTE salary rate £23,000
Term-time weeks 43
Annual pensionable pay to be shown = £19,019.23 (£23,000 x 43 ÷ 52).
Actual Pay if part time
Input the annual rate of pay (including expected overtime and any lump sum payments that are regular).
This will be the total amount of pensionable pay that the member will be expected to receive in a financial year (ending 31 March):
Example:
WTE salary rate £23,000
Term-time weeks 43
Part-time hours 18.5
Annual pensionable pay to be shown = £9,509.62 (£23,000 x 43 ÷ 52 x 18.5 ÷ 37).
For those members with non-contractual hours you may wish to use the total pensionable pay they received for the previous financial year or use their last months pensionable pay and round this up to 12 months.
Hours
State the percentage of the whole time hours worked as a decimal.
Example:
Works 18.5 hours per week whole-time equivalent hours 37
Percentage hours to be shown = 0.5 (18.5 ÷ 37.00=0.5).
Term time only employees
There is no need to adjust the percentage of hours worked by the term-time weeks paid.
