Sami_Jayne_R Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Is my first payday from my new job today, and was supposed to be getting just under £300 paid into my account.Got my pay slip thing this morning and had been paid a total of£97!!!!That's like a third of what I've worked!My boss is going to be getting a ear full tomorrow!&&& I was going to treat myself to some retail therapy this weeked in Exeter, am having some second thoughts now! Can't believe that kind of thing has happened down here.Luckly no one was hurt other than the bloke himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I got paid today too but haven't been given my payslip yet.They've not given me my payslip because I've had a payrise in this months salary, but haven't had my appraisal yet so haven't been officially told my payrise. They seem to forget that we're all accountants and can therefore work our net pay backwards to our gross so we all know what payrises we've been given! My appraisal on Tuesday is going to be interesting as it would appear my payrise is less than I was told (in January) it would be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sami_Jayne_R Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Boss' always seem to go back on what they've said.When I was offered the job I was told I'd be on £5.50 p/hour, but when my contract came through it suddenly became £4.70But I'm not that bothered because it's more than I was paid before and I get to work with one of my really good mates, so I'm never bored!

Putney Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 you should hve all noticed a little more in your pay due to the cut in tax from 22% - 20%.....However labour had put the national insurance up by 1% a few years ago so its going to take a while to claw that tax break back!We get an inflationary payrise every year.... But its not great... 3.5.% tops.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyA Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 We get an inflationary payrise every year.... But its not great... 3.5.% tops.... Our inflationary payrise is 2% so well below the rate of inflation, what a joke!Also like Adam, I won't get paid until the very very very last day of the month, Priory like to hold on to all their employees money for as long as possible! (probably accrues a good amount of interest over the year)Not that im complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 you should hve all noticed a little more in your pay due to the cut in tax from 22% - 20%.....Depends how much you earn - if you earn less than £15k-16k (I can't remember the cut off point) you're actually worse off because of the lost 10% band. If you earn more than that then you're better off because of the 20% band.Edit: Quick calculation and if you earn less than £15,351 you're worse off, but if you earn more than that you're better off.

Putney Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Niki...At what point do you actually get taxed 40%?including your personal allowance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 £36,000 + personal allowance.Standard personal allowance this year is £5,435So £41,435.(Don't forget the "effective rate" is 41% because of the additional NI contributions too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putney Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Don't you think thats a massive increase in tax..... it jumps from 20 % to 40%... I think it should be more progressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(probably accrues a good amount of interest over the year)Not that im complaining.there are two rates of inflation, retail price index (RPI) and consumer price index (CPI), one runs at 2% and one at almost 4%, not sure which way around it is, but yeah inflation is a crap thing for payrise's to be marked against.i got a 3.6% payrise in january and it doesnt really amount to much each month after tax.bloooody taxman!

Nicki Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I think Adam was commenting that the £113 tax couldn't all relate to the £140 overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
