Understand part-time and compressed hours
Work pattern calculators show illustrative gross pay when you reduce FTE or move to a compressed pattern such as a 4-day week, 9-day fortnight, term-time or annualised hours.
Example scenario
Emma, staff nurse (Band 5)
She is weighing a three-day week and needs to know how much gross pay she would give up compared with staying full time on AfC terms.
In the Staff Nurse part-time impact calculator, she might see:
- 100% FTE gross full-time baseline
- 60% FTE gross pro-rated pay
- Monthly difference between the two
Illustrative only. Pro-rata rules and pensionable pay can vary. Check your contract and HR.
What to verify with HR
- How your employer calculates FTE and pro-rata pay
- Whether pension contributions change with hours
- Leave, bank holidays and rostering on reduced hours
About these calculators
What do the work pattern calculators do?
We have two types: Part-time impact (compare full-time vs reduced FTE) and Reduced/compressed hours (4-day week, 9-day fortnight, term-time, annualised hours). Both use your band pay to show illustrative gross pay at different working patterns.
Who are they for?
They cover roles across the UK public sector: health, education, central government, local government, emergency services and more. Pick your sector above to find your role. Pro-rata rules vary by employer; check your contract.
Always check your employer
How part-time and compressed hours affect pay and leave depends on your employer. Use these tools as a guide; confirm with HR or your contract.
