Easter and May Timesheet Deadlines and COVID-19

Important: Posted/Hand Delivered Timesheets – Easter & May 2020 Bank Holiday Timesheet Deadlines

Please take note of our updated, albeit temporary, policies regarding how COVID-19 will affect the submission and payment schedule of your timesheets, and how we send you your payslips.

The A24 Group is committed to mitigating any risks between all our members of staff, while still maintaining an efficient payment schedule to ensure as much as we can that you are still getting paid on time during this difficult period.

As advised by the government, we are enforcing a work from home policy for our payroll office, we foresee issues with posted timesheets and with hand delivered timesheets where we may not have the staff in the office to process physical timesheets - this will invariably delay payment for an indeterminate time period.

What's new with Nursing Services of the UK

What's new with the A24 Group? Message from Penny Streeter OBE: "Things are moving so quickly - the way we book shifts and communicate with you is changing. I believe that this will in turn help us to provide you with a more efficient service, we are all time poor and it is often easier to send a message, than make a phone call. Our team of developers is working around the clock to bring us new innovations and better technology, which we will introduce to you as soon as we can."
