When you look at the number of paid Fridays in each month doe the deductions make sense.
You are taking more days off in some months than in others. It stands to reason that your pay would be adjusted accordingly. How else do you think it should be calculated?
As you are fortunate to have an employer who is willing to accommodate your wish to split your parental leave why do you think they will not answer your questions about how the days are deducted from your salary?
It will work out as a 20% reduction over the year but in some months she takes 5 Fridays off and in others she takes 4. That could explain the difference but I don't see what the issue is as it all works out the same over the year.How does that make sense? She is a salary employee. It shouldn't change every month depending on the number of Fridays in a month. Not like people get a bigger salary on months when they might have to work 5 Fridays or if a month has 31 days instead of 30. Monthly basic Salary should be Annual Salary / 12. If you are taking a parental leave day, every week, they should adjust your salary by 20%. There shouldn't be fluctuations on basic salary on a monthly basis.
If you only work 4 out of 5 days, your entitlement to full pay for public holidays is affected as well. So I'm guessing that on months with a public holiday, your pay is down a little also?
This is not true. According to Citizensinformation, she is entitled to full pay for public holidays
"Your entitlement to public holidays is set out in the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997. Most employees are entitled to paid leave on public holidays. One exception is part-time employees who have not worked for their employer at least 40 hours in total in the 5 weeks before the public holiday.
Employees who qualify will be entitled to one of the following:
[broken link removed]
- - A paid day off on the public holiday
- - An additional day of annual leave
- - An additional day’s pay
- - A paid day off within a month of the public holiday "
