its pay review time for me, and as ever I'm sans-gruntlement. and, as ever, Ive decided to see what this means I'm worth. its a dangerous game this, and I'm afraid this way only madness lies, but I'm upset by it, so i figure y'all should be too.

times the amount of hours your contracted to work in an average week by the average amount of weeks your contracted to work in the year (minus say 7 days for bank holidays etc) then times this figure by 60 for the amount of minutes and then x 60 for the amount of seconds you work in a year. then divide this number by your salary before tax, i. this will give you your paid by the second.

then, just for fun, rinse and repeat using the amount of hours you honestly work minus stoppages and distractions.

ill go first:

contracted: 2.315 pence per second

meant purely in frivolity, as a joke, not based on fact, not in any representative or legally binding for purposes of dismissal: 5.234 pence per second.

its still rubbish, but its tantamount to awarding yourself a bonus.

Your go.

tried it 3 times and came out with 3 different answers, none of which made sense to me.

needless to say i am not working in any job that requires me to do more than basic P&L-type accounting!

amount of hours a week x amount of weeks a year x number of minutes in an hour x number of seconds in a minute / salary in pence= pay per minute.

If I worked full time (which i don't) at my current rate it would work out to
4.9p a second.

I actually work about ten percent of the time so i guess that works out to approx 50p a second!
