Going by the original post, 10% of 30k = £3000. I am astounded that he had to come onto a forum to ask such a simple calculation. What do they teach in school these days?

I smell a troll, how can somebody not know this level of maths?
wait, you have a 30k job and you cant do basic maths? tragic

But the company are taking this £650 a year away and replacing it with 10% pay rise.
How much actual % pay rise am I getting?
Your on 30k a year and don't no the answer, you fail and shouldn't be on 30k. rant over.

You really didnt read the op did youGoing by the original post, 10% of 30k = £3000. I am astounded that he had to come onto a forum to ask such a simple calculation. What do they teach in school these days?
I took all night and all weekend to just mean days and nights at weekend. Sorry.
Yes, employers can renegotiate contracts with staff but there must be consultation

Note that if you refuse they can give you notice of termination of employment (one week for every year worked) and then put you on the new contract. However, this leaves them open to unfair dismissal claims.
Don;t forget if you are called out during the night, as per the working time directive you must have 11 consecutive hours rest in every 24 hours. So if you are called out at 2 am, you cannot start work again until 11am the next morning.

A[L]C;16118476 said:Thanks, I shall read up on it. They were saying they wanted to give time off in lieu instead of paying overtime so that they didnt have to worry about the working time directive.
Any positions at your work mate? Do you work remotely?
That will work to keep you under the weekly average of 48 hours. However, there are specific clauses relating to night work which they cannot get away from. The time off in lieu must be in that 24 hour day.
If you finish a callout at 5am say, you cannot legally start work for them again until 4pm that day.
Of course many an employer totally ignores these rules and I suspect your company will not be any different but worth asking the question and pointing out how they are going to handle this aspect of the WTD.
If they are going to follow the law to the letter it might work out very nice for you. A few hours work every night for the week on call and you can't work any days.![]()
Actually, he didn't know the answer, so delegated it to people who would do the work for nothing.
I'd say he's absolutely worth £30k a year![]()
Well, since nobody has actually got the correct answer to the OP.... (4th post was closest).
Same math as 4th post, but a rounding error
2350 / 30650 = 7.667%
