Preparing for Christmas

As the weather turns colder and the leaves change colour, it’s time to start planning for Christmas and the December payroll. Avoid a last-minute rush by having a conversation with your employees now to decide:

1. What will your care needs be during the Christmas season?
2. Will your staff be taking any holiday over Christmas?
3. How will you cover their leave, if holiday is taken?

To give our staff a time to rest and be with their families, as in previous years, our office will be closed from 12pm on 24^th December (Christmas Eve) until Monday 5^th January. Emails will be monitored during this closure for urgent matters, but payrolls will not be processed.

December is an incredibly busy time for payroll so please take note of the changes to when your hours need to be sent to us:

Monthly static payrolls

Any changes for the December payroll need to be submitted to us by 30^th November.

Monthly timesheet payrolls

Timesheets should be sent to us by 9^th December to guarantee delivery before the Christmas break.

4-weekly static and timesheet payrolls

Changes and timesheets for Week 40 (period ending 28^th December) need to be received by 12^th December.

Payments

If we manage your funding and make payments on your behalf, salary payments to PAs will be processed on 31^st December (last working day as usual). Payments to agencies, self-employed PAs and other third parties will be processed on 23^rd December for invoices received up to 19^th December. Invoices received after this will be processed for payment on Wednesday 7^th January.
