Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone can help,

Basically, I am going to approach my employer to see if I can go down to 4 days a week, on medical grounds.

Now I need to work out, before I approach them, how much I would be losing a month out of my pay packet, before tax & after tax and also what my Annual Salary would go down too.

Currently I am on £14,718 per annum before tax, I work Monday to Friday's and bank holidays are paid. 35 hours a week/7 hours a day.

Thanks in advance if anyone can work this out, as I haven't a clue :)
 
That's probably why you only earn 14k.
Really, any need?

Sorry, and this will come across nastier than it's intended, but...

It does make me worry if you can't work this out yourself. It also goes some way to explaining you earning under £15k (apologies if you are 16 or something). Book yourself in for some mathematics night courses at a local college or something.

I won't tell you both what I do for a job then.

I have never been strong in mathematics, and nor will I ever be. It is just one of those things.

Edit:
I am also happy only earning £14k, I still am able to afford everything I want, have an easy (to a degree) job, good colleagues etc. ;)

And my health at the moment is stopping me finding anything else, as I have a lot of appointments, and no employer likes that!
 
Don't take that attitude. You can be. It might be much harder for you than most, but it's no excuse to give up. I have a friend who is dyslexic and really struggles to get his points across on paper. He is currently studying neuroscience at PhD level.

Believing you can do it is the first step.


I guess, but it is just one of those things, I should really for the job that I am doing, but I am sure when I go on to a different job I won't really need it :o

I have looked into night courses, but most around here start at like 5pm!?!?!
