Pay Arrangements

You will be paid weekly in arrears every Friday. Payment will be made by BACS transfer based on the information provided by you. Before commencing employment you will be given a timesheet to complete. This will detail the hours that you have worked each day and those hours are totalled giving us your weekly hours to be paid. Timesheets will only be accepted by Red if they are signed and dated by you and the specified hiring manager.

Timesheets must be received at our Finance department by 10.00am on the following Monday. This is imperative to ensure that the hours are inputted onto the payroll system for timely pay the following week. It is your responsibility (not the client’s) to ensure that your timesheet has been received by Red, therefore we recommend that you call the office to confirm receipt.

 
Tax Queries

Before you start working for Red, we will require your P45 which your previous employer should have given you. If you don’t have a P45 from a past employer, please ask Red for a P46 or download one from the following link:

Holidays

As an Agency Worker, you are entitled to paid annual leave according to the statutory minimum as provided by Working Time Regulations. The current statutory entitlement to paid annual leave under these regulations is 5.6 weeks (28 days). 

Entitlement to payment for leave accrues in proportion to the amount of time worked by the Agency Worker on Assignment during the Leave Year.   Your Leave Year begins on whichever date you commenced your existing assignment with Red. Under the Working Time Regulations 1998, none of this leave can be carried over into any subsequent leave year and so please ensure that you take all of your leave in the appropriate year. 

Under the Agency Workers Regulations, on completion of the Qualifying Period, the Agency Worker may be entitled to paid and/or unpaid annual leave in addtion to the Agency Worker's entitlement to paid annual leave under Working Time Regulations.

If you want to find out how much holiday you have accrued, please contact Red’s Finance department on 02920 414891.

If your assignment finishes for any reason, all unpaid accrued holiday will automatically be paid to you in your final wages.

To request holiday, please complete a "Holiday Request  Form"  and give it to your consultant at Red. Please ensure that you give your consultant a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice for any holiday time that you wish to take.  This is very important as this is the minimum notice that we guarantee our clients.
