Understanding your payslip

Your payslip is split into two separate parts Payments & Deductions

Payments – this shows standard hours & pay rate, overtime & pay rate and holiday pay (this is shown as units of half day under time column & daily rate under rate column).  The Gross pay will show all payments made.Deductions – this shows the national insurance deducted, the tax deducted & deduction which is recovery of any cheque payment made previously. The Net due is the payment that will be paid into your bank.



Method of payment Payments are made into your chosen bank on the Friday after submitting of timesheets via the BACS system. If you want to change your chosen bank or account you need to submit the new details in writing by midday on the Monday for payment the following Friday. If you wish to check that payment has been made you will need to contact your bank direct. Please note that checking your balances via the ATM may not show that days balance as some banks do not update the ATM balance until after close of business.



Holiday Pay

The current annual holiday allowance is 28 days, this is accrued at 0.54 days per week worked & your holiday year runs from your start date for one year. Please note as per your terms of engagement that holiday can not be carried over into your new holiday year.



How is it calculated?

The daily rate for holiday is calculated as an average of the previous 12 weeks pay.
i.e. if you worked 35 hours for the previous 12 weeks and had completed 10 hours overtime in that period it would calculate your daily rate as below:
35 x 12 + 15(10 hours overtime @ 1.5 rate) = 435 hours
435 / 60 (number of working days in the 12 week period) = 7.25 hours

Please note all holiday is based on full time hours and a 5 day week. If you do not work full time your holiday pay is pro rated.
