Term time (equated pay) leavers calculation (NJC for local government staff)

Term-time employees receive consistent monthly pay, adjusted if they leave mid-year to prevent under or overpayment.

The council pays employees who work term time only, equated pay.  This is where their working weeks, pro-rata annual leave and bank holidays and unpaid weeks are added together then divided by 12 months so the individual receives the same amount each month therefore avoiding fluctuations in pay. If an employee leaves part-way through the year they can be under or overpaid depending on how many school holiday weeks they have had. This guidance outlines the pay calculations to determine if there has been an under or over payment.  These calculations will normally be undertaken by the Service Centre.
