What does pro rata mean?
Pro-rata is Latin for ‘proportionally’ or a ‘proportion of’. The term ‘pro-rata’ means that the salary and holiday advertised for a job is what a full-time employee would receive for the job.
For a part-time employee, or an employee starting mid-year, their prorated annual leave entitlement and salary will need to be calculated according to the number of hours or time they work. This is also phrased as 'on a pro-rata basis'.
