Pro-rata & Part-time FAQ

What does 'Pro-rata' actually mean?

'Pro-rata' is Latin for 'in proportion'. In employment, it means your salary and benefits are scaled down to match the number of hours you work compared to a full-time employee.

Am I entitled to the same holiday as full-time staff?

Legally, yes (in most jurisdictions like the UK/EU). You get the same proportion of holiday. If a full-timer gets 25 days for 5 days of work, a 3-day worker gets 15 days.

Does pro-rata affect my tax bracket?

Yes. Since your total annual income is lower on a pro-rata basis, you may fall into a lower tax bracket, potentially increasing your net percentage take-home pay.

How do I calculate pro-rata holiday for bank holidays?

Most companies include bank holidays in the total allowance and then 'deduct' them when they occur. If you don't work Mondays, you don't lose a day when a Monday bank holiday occurs.

Is pro-rata the same as 'Part-time'?

Yes, 'Pro-rata' describes the *calculation* of pay for a part-time role.
