Payroll Information

Absolute will pay your wages weekly on a Friday, one week in arrears, directly into your bank or building society account using the BACS system. Your payslip should arrive in the post on the same day.

To ensure you are paid correctly and on time, there are a few things you should keep an eye on:

Changing Bank / Building Society Account Details

It is essential that you ensure that the Payroll Department is kept informed if you change your account. You can do this by completing a Change of Personal Details form, which you will find in the Downloads area of this website.

Timesheets

Always ensure that your timesheet is returned promptly by 12 midday on a Monday. On most contracts, Temporary Workers do not need individual timesheets (your Consultant will tell you prior to you assignment whether or not you need one). These Temporary Workers should keep a note of their own hours but needn’t submit a timesheet. See the Timesheets section for more details.

National Insurance Contributions

Absolute is legally obliged to deduct National Insurance Contributions from your wages over and above the Government threshold. Please ensure that we have your correct National Insurance number (you can find this on an old payslip or your P45 from your previous employer).

Tax

To ensure that you do not pay too much tax, you will need to supply us with a P45 from your previous employer. If you cannot supply a P45, you will need to complete a P46 form (see our Downloads section).

Contacting Us

Absolute’s Payroll Department is based at the Group Head Office in Crewe. If you have any queries, call 01270 509 266 Monday to Friday between 9am and 4.30pm. Alternatively, you can email your query by clicking here.
