Wage deductions

[Sherwoodforest]

45 hours overtime is minimum 450 quid,so 300 quid for a month isnt right

I don't know if I'm posting in the right place. My daughter has just received a payslip that has £600 deducted due to retro -69 hours of holiday pay? She thinks these are holidays throughout 2023. It has left her with £300 for the month, after working 45hrs overtime plus her contracted hours. This seems a lot to take out of one pay slip, even if it was an overpayment.

Has she changed her hours recently? Normally holiday deductions are when colleagues take more holidays than they are entitled too

if they changed their hours though even on a full 7.5 hour shift thats 9.2 days of pay... (9 days + 1.5 hours), so if you assume they were doing 5 days a week at the company between 5 years and 10 years, then without personal day and the part hours) its 32 days and then would of gone down to 3 day working and they'd of lost 10 days holiday as that brings that out to 22 days...

but then even factoring overtime as above said without premiums thats £495.90, (before tax), so call like £400/450 as said too, thats still £100/£150 missing on the overtime and if they did drop down to the 3 days, they'd have atleast 12 days of contractual pay, so thats £991.80 (before tax etc), so there is definitely a huge  mess-up somewhere.

Advice would definitely be to submit a wage query with colleague help and your manager (information says should be reviewed within 5 working days) and since it should be atleast £100 underpayment this is what information says:

Should your underpayment be in excess of £100 or where you tell us that this places you in financial difficulty and you cannot wait until the next pay period, we may use an ad-hoc BACS payment to pay you sooner.

Ad-hoc BACS payments must be authorised as follows:

Up to £1000 by a WL3 Manager (Large Store - Store Manager, Convenience Area Manager or DC Manager)
Over £1000 by your Director (Regional People Partner in Distribution).
For Colleagues paid via Work & Pay the authorised approval can be provided by raising a colleague help query including the approver email as an attachment on the ticket.

For those colleagues who are not paid via Work & Pay, these approvals should be sent by email to the HSC Payroll team Please search Pay Queries Non-Exec on the internal email directory.

Ad-hoc payments will not be processed without the valid approval email.

Should Good Friday fall into this months pay?
Just checked my payslip & haven't been paid any bank holiday premium.

Think you find cut off for this month was last Thursday.

[fatlad]

Ah OK. I thought cut off for contracted hours was the Saturday following payday?

[NannieG]

Cut off point for contracted is this Saturday 30th March (Saturday after payday) but for overtime, sick, holidays etc is the Friday 5pm the week before payday - in this case, Friday 22nd March

[fatlad]

Thanks for that info, so I can assume that any bank holiday premium from working Good Friday will be seen in April's pay?

[willie2018]

no premium on my payslip for good friday

[oldfashionedplayer]

thats probably because good friday is after the cut off point... Payroll cut-off date for March pay day was Friday, 22/03/2024, 17:00

Our standard payroll cut-off deadline is 7 days before payday, which is the Friday before payday.

For example, if Friday 18th is payday, then the cut-off day is Friday 11th.


Next Start - 31/03/2024 - End -27/04/2024 - cut off - 19/04/2024 pay - 26/04/2024, all on colleague help, they have a running notification on the site as you navigate cause im guessing the lack of knowledge from managers knowing when the cutoff is etc and to make sure its actually done, so there isn't a "i didn't know" and colleagues can see it too so they can go "i can get that in before the cutoff"
