It is important that you send us your timesheets with the hours that your personal assistant has worked on the above dates to ensure your payroll is processed in time. Please remember to tell us about any holiday, sick pay or leavers at each payroll. You can contact with your hours before the date due. We would always endeavour to provide you with a courtesy call as a prompt, however it is important that you do not rely on this service as we cannot guarantee we will be in a position to provide this every payroll.
1. Email: payroll.hours@darlingtondisability.org
2. Leave a message on 01325 360524 leaving your name and contact number so that we can call you to verify the hours and obtain your timesheet.
We will send your payroll details to you by the Friday of payroll week.
Please note if you receive your payroll details from us before this and choose to pay your personal assistant early, please make them aware that this is not their normal pay day, as there may be occasions when we are only able to get payroll details to you by the Friday.
