Teaching Assistant Term time changes
Hourly rate The current hourly rate is based on working 32.5 hours as their full time hours.
if they earn £16830 / 1694.6428525 (32.5hrs x 52.142857weeks) = £9.93123
In the future the standard full time hours will be 37 hours
If they earn £ 16830 / 1929.2857 (37 x 52.142857) = £8.7234
Therefore their hourly rate will reduce.
Working weeks
Currently teaching assistants are paid for 52 weeks of the year. Therefore they work 39 weeks (term time) and have 13 weeks holiday. This is changing.
Example is based on someone with more than 5 years service (38 days annual leave and bank hols) and working 39 weeks (some work 38 and don’t work the 1 week of inset days or however many weeks they actually work)
For a full year person – we will work 44.542857 weeks (52.142857- 7.6) and have 7.6 weeks of holidays (this is 38 days).
For a term time only person – they will work 39 weeks and then have a pro- rata amount of annual leave.
The calculation to work out their pro rata amount of annual leave is :-
38 Days annual leave x (39 (tt working wks)/44.542857 (FY working wks)) =
38 x 0.875561 = 33.2713 days or 6.6543 wks
They will therefore be paid 39 weeks working plus 6.6543 weeks (annual leave) = 45.6543 weeks instead of 52.
Their annual salary will then be calculated:
Weekly Hours x hourly rate x 45.6 weeks = annual salary
This is then divided by 12 months so they get the same amount each month Ready Reckoner for all term time staff including Teaching Assistants

To calculate salary
1. Calculate hourly rate
Full time annual salary / 1929.2857
2. Number of hours worked per week e,g 20
3. Calculate the number of weeks worked per year .e.g 39 weeks with 4 years service = 45.4502
4. Multiply
Hourly rate x number of hours worked per week x paid weeks plus leave
E.g Annual Salary = £16830 Working 20 hours per week 39 weeks working 4 years service
Hourly rate £16830 / 1929.2857 = £8.7234
Annual Salary Hourly rate x hours per week x weeks worked plus hols £8.7234 x 20 X 45.4502 = £7929.63
Gross monthly salary £7929.63 / 12 (months in the year) = £660.80
