Feel utterley defeated
Started a new job, first time Ive really felt like I was getting over my burnout and getting some confidence back to get back out socially again and try and make a success of myself
Declared my autism for a job for the first time ever. Went through the Occupational Health Assesment. Got my Reasonable Adjustment requests. My boss has literally done the opposite of all my reasonable adjustments since I started the job, to the point where I have been denied things that are in my reasonable adjustments even if non autistic staff have them
Put up with it all. Learned, studied, taught myself company computer systems. Only to find that no one had told me how they calculate pay and it was about half what I thought it was going to be. Honestly 4 days a week 8 hours a day for £600 a month? How? I have a family to support. Thankfully we have UC but this job has now put that in jepordy.
Sent endless complicated calculations by HR to show how they have paid me, honestly I doubt even Einstein could figure it out yet the more I tell them I dont understand it the more they email me
Just feel like I did everything right with this job, I played the "normals" game like I was supposed to, did everything I was supposed to do to make a success in the NT world and get even more shafted than I usually do
What is the bloody point of trying to play by the worlds rules if they keep changing the rules half way through
Hi,Is this a school or a college? I'm a fully qualified and experienced Payroll Manager and having spent 8 years previously doing payroll for a college. I can assure that is not the correct way to do term-time pay.
School and college hours are annualised and if you are term-time only then your contract should be 0.748 (39 weeks out of 52.143 weeks). So, say if the full time salary is, say, £16500.00 per year, then the monthly salary would be: 16500.00 * .748 / 12, or £1028.50 per month.
It looks like you are 32hrs per week, therefore a 0.647 contract. Is this what they have said?

Hi Thanks for this its really helpful, i will have a look at the link you sent
From how I understand it I think it is legal because I am on an hourly pay rate rather than a yearly salary. I think thats how they get round it.
