Term Time Only / School Holiday Contracts

Many direct payment budgets are set up to provide flexibility  to allow recipients to make the most of their package by using variable hours during term time and school holidays.

We have clients that have staff on a term time only contracts, and there are other clients that increase their employees hours in the school holidays.

Clients that vary their hours based on term time, need to make sure that they have provided payroll with the information that they need. This includes:

• The term dates (as holidays vary from borough to borough and school to school)
• The hours worked by employees in the term time
• The hours worked by the employee in the holiday period
• Details of annual leave due

Please do not assume that the team are aware of the term dates, or have the required information.

Therefore when you send in your timesheets in, you will need to make it clear the hours what need to be paid, and any adjustments required to fit around your ‘term time’ agreements with employees.

If you have a static (automatic) payroll – but the hours change outside of term time, please inform us of any changes to the hours by the 9^th each month.
