Check in with your Consultant on your first day, if possible, with your direct line number so we can contact you easily should we need to.
What if I am sick or running late?
If for any reason you are sick or running late then please call your Consultant before you are due to start work that day so that they can inform the client with as much notice as possible.
When will I be paid?
It is important that we get your signed timesheets on time so that we can manage payroll. Here is our process:
-
You must submit your timesheet online by no later than Monday 2pm following the week worked. To do this, please visit https://tpp.timesheetportal.com or click through on the reminder emails sent from the portal.
-
Your timesheet will be sent automatically to your selected approver. They must approve the timesheet by Monday 4pm (following the week worked). Payment for timesheets authorised after 4pm on a Monday may be delayed.
-
Provided your timesheet is approved on time, we will send the net payment to your account by that Friday (i.e. the Friday following the week worked).
Am I entitled to sick pay?
Subject to certain qualifying criteria, you may be entitled to Statutory Sick Pay. Please contact your consultant for further information.
Am I entitled to holiday pay?
You will accrue holiday leave (and related holiday pay) when you work on assignment through TPP. Full time workers will get 5.6 weeks (28 days) inclusive of UK Bank Holidays, part-time workers will accrue holiday on a pro-rata basis.
Holiday pay accumulates on top of your basic pay rate – we will pay this to you when you take your holiday.
Unlike some agencies, TPP does not roll your holiday pay into your hourly pay. We will pay you holiday pay when you take holiday – after all we want you to take the holiday you’ve earned and have the money to do so. So if another agency offers you a higher rate make sure you know if that includes holiday pay or not, because if it does the ‘real’ hourly rate may be the same as (or even less than) TPP is offering you.
How do I book a holiday?
If you are taking holiday and want to request this as paid leave, you must submit your application for leave online via tpp.timesheetportal.com at least one week IN ADVANCE of taking leave.
Please note that Bank Holidays are part of your statutory holiday entitlement, and will also need to be applied for online. If at the time of requesting holiday you have not accrued enough holiday pay to cover the full period of your holiday leave we will pay out everything that you have accrued so far.
Am I automatically enrolled into a pension?
Pensions automatic enrolment is intended to help more people save for later life through a pension scheme at work. It makes it compulsory for employers to automatically enrol their eligible workers into a pension scheme. When the worker is enrolled in the pension scheme, the employer must deduct the worker's pension contribution from their pay, and pay its own employers' contribution.
If you do not want to stay in the pension scheme you can opt out. TPP are unable to offer advice on opting in or out of the pension scheme. For details on how to opt out, visit TPP's scheme provider NOW:Pensions website.
For any other questions about your pay or entitlements , please contact our accounts team on accounts@tpp.co.uk or 020 7198 6190.
Am I entitled to time off to deal with emergencies?
We all experience emergencies from time to time, whether that involves ourself or a dependent (spouse, child, parent or other person requiring care). Temporary workers who are engaged on contracts for services are not entitled to paid time off to deal with an emergency, compassionate leave or bereavement leave (to make funeral arrangements or attend a funeral of a dependent.)
If you need time off for an emergency, please speak to your consultant to discuss taking time out of your assignment. Time out of an assignment is unpaid, unless you book holiday leave which you may have accrued and will be paid for. You can book your holiday leave through the timesheet portal.
