Salary mess up!

[Colbaker]

Help! My company are playing silly with my new salary.

I get paid monthly therefore my annual wage is split into 12. I promoted in the middle of april about £2000 a year more in my annual wage. When I got my payslip the basic pay bit before tax was only £6-7 more than what I got the month previous.

They are saying it's correct as they are working out my daily rate and applying that to the 7 days at my old salary and 13 days at my new salary.

What i'm trying to explain to work is that if your salaried each month they need to work it out differently as there is always a different amount of working days in a month but never more than 12 months in one year.

How do i get them to understand that it is wrong! It's only about £100 difference but it's a lot of money to us at the moment.

Yeah understand what your saying, but i'm not paid each month by the daily rate times the number of days worked i'm paid by my annual salary divided into 12. Therefore the calculation is incorrect but i have no way of calculating the correct payment i should have received. Other than taking my new daily rate and finding the difference between my old one and timesing that by 13 days worked at my new rate!

Actually have just checked it and it is £3.65 more this month than last month, It is worked out wrong as all my pa slips state the same basic salary, say for instance £1800 now this months salary states i have £1803.65 even after working 13 days at my new salary, If i were to work it out at a daily rate the way that my company has then it would come to about £1600 this month (which would be less than every other month before the wage rise and promotion ), there is no doupt in my mind that i have been short changed it's just trying to tell them that as it is complicated.

Cheers for the reply's by the way.
