Support staff back pay estimate

How much back pay are you owed?

For years, support staff have been short-changed by Venturers Trust (now E-ACT) as they delayed implementing nationally agreed pay awards for support staff from April to September. Five months of every pay rise went unpaid, adding up year after year. This tool works out how much you’re owed. It’s completely private: everything is worked out on this device and nothing you type is sent anywhere.

This calculator needs JavaScript to work out your figure — nothing is sent anywhere, the sums simply run in your browser. If you can’t enable it, contact bargainingsupport@neu.org.uk and we’ll work it out with you.

When did you start working at Venturers Trust?

What pay point were you on?

Each option shows its current salary as a reference.

Do you work part-time or term-time only?

Full-time, all year round is 1 FTE. If you’re part-time or term-time only, enter your hours as FTE (e.g. 3 days per week is 0.6 FTE).

1.00 FTE

Some things to keep in mind

This is salary only. It doesn’t include employer pension contributions, overtime, or any other contractual payments you may also be owed — so the real figure is likely higher.
It assumes you held one pay point for the whole period. If you’ve moved up the pay scale since, you’re owed more than this shows.
It assumes the FTE you entered applied for the whole period.
It’s an estimate, not a payslip-exact calculation.
