Been offered a perm role - but what's this 20% in their calculations?

[gypsymoth]

Sure. But at some point, someone will have decided that, for the op's organisation, 20% is the deduction. Others might choose 22%. Or 50%. There's no industry standard. That's from my experience in working in large companies for several decades...

The OP's statement "Yet no one can explain that 20% deduction" is a bit odd. Yeah. No-one can, because HR have made it up. Whether they've made up by rolling dice, or in depth analysis of the industry is kind of moot. You'll be offered what you're offered - you've been given some kind of heads up what the offer will be, and it seems reasonable - all else is negotiation. Who cares where they got their formula from?

You complain about 'precision' earlier, yet then say "who cares where they got the formula from?"

lol

To be honest, NotAllThere probably expected you to be of a higher caliber if you can't simply write a formula. 20% is *0.8 for your formula.

The HR department use a standard model for a large company but with the usual variance, depending on the role, grading and moon phase.

Given your posts I'd take the permanent role, as I can't see elsewhere offering you this. However I expect such tripe from a big4 consultant.

Interesting how a couple of people managed to understand the original post and respond in a helpful, adult way.... but a couple of people couldn't manage that and tried - unsuccessfully - to have a pop and appear smart. Their failures get pointed out, then a few sycophants jump to their defence. Kind of tragic, but everyone needs a hobby.

Anyway, thank you to those that responded

Right... well that's very logical. Anyway - thread off topic now, you've got your answer. Closed.
