When do I get paid?

Payslips are sent out by payroll every Wednesday this means payments made to temporary staff will clear their bank account on a Friday.

How many days holiday do I get as a PAYE Temp?

You will be entitled to 28 days holiday per year pro rata, including bank holidays. Please ensure that you give one weeks notice for any paid holidays you would like to take and ensure that you submit a holiday pay request through the online timesheet portal. The holiday pay request via the portal does not require approval from your line manager so you must get your managers approval separately.
