How to calculate full time equivalent pay of people getting paid casual rate?
Asked by Jamie
My employer employs everyone on a causal basis even if people work on a full time basis. I would like to know how to calculate how much Casual $$/ hour = Full time $$/ hour if full time gets public holiday pay AND 4 weeks annual leave? How do i calculate it??... thank you. Lets say he offers me $35 / hour casual... how much is that full time equivalent, and how to I calculate it?

Best Answer:
By law...you're entitled to vacation. Unless he's paying you cash under the table, you are entitled to 4% vacation pay. If he can not give you the time off...he must pay you, it's the law. If you're a casual employee/classified as part-time but working full-time hours, he doesn't have to pay you for statutory holidays. There's no point in doing the calculations, sounds like he's trying to rip you off. By how much....if you're not getting vacations or vacation pay, take your salary from last year and calculate 4% of that. Add to that 8 hours @ xx.xx$/hour for however many stat holidays there are in your state and you've got the amount that you're out. Say you earned 50, 000 last year. Your vacation pay = 2,000$ 10 holidays X 8 hours X 24.00$/hour = 1920.00$ If you made 50,000$, he ripped you off for 3920$
