When working as a temporary employee, there are a number of factors that you need to be aware of. As Temporary work is an increasingly popular career choice, many organisations opt for a temporary workforce to manage extra work during busy times such as financial year end or to work on special projects or for holiday cover.

Here's some useful tips to place yourself in the best possible position to work when you want to. Make sure you:
  • Do not be late and give yourself plenty of time to get to the employer.
  • Notify Change UK and the employer if you are sick or planning to take a holiday.
  • Notify Change UK of any changes to your contact information or bank details.
  • Adhere to agreed notice periods.
  • Keep your CV current - ensure it covers every duty undertaken and every system worked on.


  • Payroll Procedures

    Timesheets received after the deadline will be processed in the following week.Please make sure your timesheet is completed correctly. Missing or incorrect information can often result in delayed or incorrect payment, and it's obviously in everyone's best interests to avoid this.
