Do any of you guys deal with a staff and resource budget in your jobs? I have my review next month and I feel I'm underpaid for the budget I manage and the job I do so am trying to get a pay rise.

I should have added my staff and resource budget is £100k going upto £125k in April, so not a lot in the grand scheme of things

Just to clarify, do the staff wages come out of that budget?

As others have said doesn't seem like very much if it does!

Sorry yes the staff wages do come out of the budget and they are low paid(but there is nothing I can do about that, my wages also come out of that so you can see how well I am paid lol)ATM I have 3 staff and am taking on 3 p/t after Xmas( why I said I had 6 staff) I'm only on one little corner of the site, the whole site has about 50-60 staff but I'm not sure on the budget for the whole site.

125k for 7 peoples wages?!

Depending on what you do that's abysmal

I thought as much, hence the reason I was thinking of leaving and utilising my PCV/HGV licences ( it wouldn't be much of a pay cut)

The perks of the job used to be quite good, 7 weeks holiday a year, 8am-3pm working hours but they are starting to mess with that

Sorry I misread.

I don't know how old you are or what you do but, from minimal information, I think you're underpaid

I'm 34, I'm a mess manager( it's a bit like a hotel, I provide bar, food and hotel services) in civilian terms I would be a hotel manager just a small 34room hotel

Can't help but think people arent actually answering OPs question (I could be wrong).

OP, does your salary come out of that £100k (soon to be £125k)?

Based on your question, you were basically asking for perspective on your salary VS the budget/ people you manage? And...if the fact you will now have to manage an additional £25k or 1 person should lead to you getting more money. To answer this question directly, the answer is no (in almost all instances).

As others have said, whilst the scope of what you're managing 'can be' slightly relevent to your salary, generally it doesnt have much correlation with how much you will be paid.

Back off topic somewhat - That really is a very low budget for 7 people!

Assuming this budget is split evenly (which it obviously isnt because its split between part time full time) -

£125,000 / 7 staff = £17,857

If you allow for Employers NI in this figure it looks something like this (Salary £16,660 + ENI £1,200)

Now if you make allowance for Pension contribution (if any), sick pay, holiday entitlement say this reduces the salary by £1,000.

This means 7 people are earning circa £15,600?

Whats alarming is if your salary isnt included in this - if you allowed for the part time staff earning approx 80% what the full time staff earn then this would mean that part time staff get £14,000 and full time staff get £17,000 approx. (although this allows for an even split of 3.5 part time 3.5 full time rather that 4 part time, 3 full time as I cant be bothered to work it out anymore lol). If your salary is included in this then these figures become much worse.

Thank you that's what I was after, and yes my salary does come out of my budget
