How to work out your pay

You are paid the hourly rate for the job for all hours worked. In this way, regardless of whether you are full-time, part-time, or casual, you are paid at the same hourly rates for the job, according to your grade.

Enhancements relating to overtime, night work and weekend work are paid by applying an addition to the hourly rate and will be paid according to when the hours are worked.

The Scottish Joint Council issues hourly rates every year. They can be converted into a weekly rate by multiplying the total weekly hours by the hourly rate of the new pay grade. They can be converted into an annual salary by multiplying the annual hours (weekly hours x 52) x the hourly rate for the new pay grade.

The hourly rates are published in the Highland Council pay and grading structure.
