As the festive season is fast approaching, I would like to let you know about your pay dates for the forthcoming holiday period. Due to the Christmas shutdown and banks being closed over the holiday period some regular pay dates have been moved.
The pay frequencies that will be affected by the closure period this year are:-
- Weekly paid employees who will receive 3 weeks pay on Thursday 17th December 2020.
- Teachers who are normally paid on the 28th of the month will be paid on Monday 21st December 2020.
Please see details below of Christmas & New Year pay arrangements for the holiday period of December 2020 and January 2021

Many of you are aware, but to confirm, payroll returns (eg. overtime, expenses etc) must be received in Employee Services by 12 noon on the dates indicated in the table above. It would be appreciated, however, if returns could be made as early as possible.
Overtime claim forms signed by service managers can be scanned and sent to:-
Returns received after input deadlines will not be processed until the next available pay period. Due to the number of payruns being processed within a very short timescale, it will not be possible to make advance payments due to late information and deadlines must be observed if employees are to be paid correctly and timeously.
If ‘estimated’ hours are being submitted for employees who work during the closure period, Employee Services should be contacted immediately so that separate arrangements can be made for those employees if necessary.
We would be happy to provide further information or assistance if required and would ask you to contact a member of the Employee Services Team at Payroll WebEmail/EDC
as soon as possible if you have any enquiries regarding the revised arrangements.
I hope this information is helpful and if you have any queries regarding these arrangements or specific queries in relation to pay dates, please contact your line manager directly in the first instance.
Thank you
