You receive a payslip each week for the shifts worked during the relevant period. The contract date determines which payslip a shift appears on, not the payment date. If a shift is approved after the Wednesday deadline, the original payslip is updated.

Each payslip consists of four sections:

  1. Basic information: general information about you and your contract.
  2. Gross amounts per assignment: your earnings and hours worked per shift.
  3. From gross to net: how your gross pay is converted into your net pay.
  4. Accruals overview: an overview of accrued amounts, such as holiday pay and leave allowances.

Below, we explain what the different items on your payslip mean.
