Payment for temporary workers is made on a weekly basis, one week in arrears, via direct debit directly into the bank account you nominated on registration with ChoiceOne.  You are required to submit a timesheet for the hours that you have worked each week and have this signed by your manager/supervisor.

At registration you will be asked to complete a bank form showing your account for payment.  If you change your bank details, you MUST complete a new form. You can obtain a new form by contacting your Consultant.

Payroll is usually run on a Wednesday, as long as we received your timesheet by close of business Monday.  You pay will reach your account on a Thursday or Friday dependant upon who you bank with.  Public Holidays may affect pay days and the day your pay goes into your account.
