Are you tempted to Temp?

Your weekly pay will be in your bank on a Friday, this is the official payment day as shown on your payslip (excepting bank holidays or Christmas, then you will be paid the last working day before the Bank holiday).

Timesheets are emailed each week to your private email address as a PDF attachment. Only use the pre-printed timesheets that are emailed for each assignment. Do not use timesheets from a previous week or from any different assignments, as the timesheet is system automated and will have the timesheet number already allocated for that week. The timesheet week starts on a Saturday to the following Friday.

Timesheets need to be sent to temps@carousel.co.uk by 12pm on the Monday following your working week. All timesheets need to be dated and signed by the client otherwise this may affect your pay.

Any changes to your personal information needs to be sent to temps@carousel.co.uk

Carousel is pleased to advise that temporary workers are eligible for auto-enrolment into our Workplace Pension Scheme. The scheme, through NOW:Pensions, has been selected on the advice of a specialist pensions advisor. We believe it will suit the needs of our temps, and perform well with minimal risk involved.

Please note eligibility & enrolment onto the scheme depends on a number of qualifying criteria, so please feel to get in touch with us if you have any queries.

Should you wish to speak to NOW:Pensions directly, their member support number is 0330 400 3334 and Carousels scheme reference is BK7E

Automatic enrolment is a Government initiative 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. The employer must also pay money into the scheme.

Following government legislation, every employee has a one calendar month period after being auto-enrolled into a pension scheme, where they can choose to opt out. An employee can also opt out outside this period, but may not be eligible for a short service refund.

For details on how to opt out, visit the NOW:Pensions website.
