if you do 50% of the hours you only get 50% of the money

Simply put, if they're offering £20k pa pro-rata but you only work half days then you only get £10k pa.

Or, for short term contracts, if they're offering £20k pro-rata on a 6 month contract then, again, you only get £10k.

Pro-rata is to salary what APR is to interest rates.

("Pro rata" in Latin means "in proportion" )
