Frequently Asked Questions About Pro-Rata Salary & FTE in Australia
What does pro-rata salary mean in Australia? +
Pro-rata salary means remuneration proportioned to the hours worked relative to a standard full-time role (38 hours per week). If a position offers an advertised full-time package of $100,000 per year and you work 3 days (22.8 hours per week, or 0.6 FTE), your pro-rata gross salary is $60,000 per year.
How is a part-time FTE calculated from weekly hours? +
Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) is calculated by dividing your contracted weekly hours by 38. For example: 38 hours = 1.0 FTE; 30.4 hours (4 days) = 0.8 FTE; 22.8 hours (3 days) = 0.6 FTE; and 15.2 hours (2 days) = 0.4 FTE.
Do part-time employees get paid for public holidays in Australia? +
Yes, if the public holiday falls on a day the part-time employee would normally have worked under their agreed contracted pattern of hours. In that scenario, they receive their ordinary daily pay without having to work. If the holiday falls on a day they do not normally work, no payment is required.
How does annual leave accrue on a pro-rata basis? +
Under the NES, part-time employees accrue 4 weeks of paid annual leave based on their ordinary hours of work. For example, a 0.6 FTE employee working 22.8 hours per week accrues 91.2 hours of annual leave per year (4 weeks × 22.8 hours), which equates to four weeks off at their normal 3-day work pattern.
