Hours of Work

- Contractual Information -

Unless otherwise stated in your Personal Statement, normal working hours are 35 hours each week, Monday to Friday, with one hour each day for lunch. We reserve the right to vary your normal working hours, if necessary, to fulfil our operational requirements.

You may be required to work in excess of your normal working hours. If required you agree to work in excess of any limit placed on working hours whether by statute or otherwise (provided in the case of a statutory limit that the requirement is lawful). Any excess hours worked will be unpaid unless you have a specific entitlement to overtime payments, which will be set out in your Personal Statement.

You are required to record your hours of work (see also Completion of Weekly Timecards) and notify us of them so that we can comply with our health and safety obligations.

If you have to work during your lunchtime, you must take an equivalent break during the day making arrangements for appropriate cover where necessary. You must take a minimum rest period of 30 minutes if you have worked continuously for six hours. The law entitles you to a daily rest of 11 consecutive hours and a weekly rest of 24 hours. Except where we may lawfully require you to work during all or part of these rests you must take them. If as a result of our work requirements you do not get your full rest entitlements, you will be entitled to an equivalent period of rest.

Payment of salary

Your salary will be paid monthly on 23rd of each month, by direct transfer into your nominated personal bank or building society account(s). If the 23rd falls on a weekend or public holiday, your salary will be paid on the previous working day. Your pay statement, which you will receive in a sealed envelope, will itemise pay, deductions and net amount paid.

If you resign, your final salary will be paid into your bank or building society account(s) on 23rd of the month in which you leave and you will receive your P45 together with your final pay statement at that time.

We reserve the right at any time, and in any event on termination of employment, to deduct from your pay (including holiday pay, sick pay, maternity pay and any other type of pay) any amounts that you owe. These may include season ticket loans and/or other loans; expenses allowance; holiday taken in excess of entitlement; repayment of training expenses incurred under a sponsored study arrangement; a deficit of hours under the flexitime scheme; or the estimated value of any FSA property damaged by you/ retained by you without permission when you leave. Your final payment will reflect any adjustments, where applicable.

We also reserve the right to deduct from your pay an amount equal to any allowance you receive in the course of performing public service or whilst on jury service.

If you have any enquiries regarding your pay statement, you should contact the HR Helpline.
