If you have completed the correct processes; i.e. clocked in & out, adjusted for sleeps etc. and there is no discrepancy that prevents a manager signing off your timesheet you will be paid on Friday, the week after your shift(s).
Weeks run Monday-Sunday, so for example, if you work on a Wednesday night, you will get paid 9 days later. If your shift is on Sunday, you will get paid 5 days later. Pay is usually in first thing, but can technically be anytime during the day.
Payslips will generally be available in the portal between Wednesday PM and Friday AM, however this can be up to 6pm Friday.

Holiday pay balances and requests are made in the portal.
https://priorityrecruitmentservices.evertime.co.uk/
The user guide for the portal is available here.
If you are on calculate and retain and want to request holiday pay, the cut off for guaranteed payment on Friday is 12:00 Tuesday*.
Please note that requests upto late Wednesday might be included in that weeks payrun, to be sure of getting it next week, process your request from Thursday onwards.
Calculate & Retain
Your holiday pay is calculated weekly and added to your holiday pay pot, each weeks accrual is available for pay out from the following week. There is no time limit to claiming, if you leave your balance of holiday pay will be paid out to you.
Calculate & Pay
Your holiday pay is calculated and added to your payroll that week. You will not accrue a pot of money, as it will be paid out instantly.
To move to Calculate and Pay, please email payroll@prorityrecruitment.co.uk to request the change. Requests made after 12:00 on Tuesday* will be actioned the following week.
*During certain weeks (Bank Holidays/Christmas etc) there maybe changes to cut off dates, which will be communicated in advance.
How is my holiday pay calculated?
Your holiday pay is calculated at 12.07% of the pay you earn working (not rest/expenses etc).
This means for every pound you earn whilst working, you earn an extra 12.07% to cover your paid holidays.
✅ Example:
If you earn £100, your holiday pay is £12.07 (because £100 × 12.07% = £12.07).
This ensures you still get paid for time off, even if the holiday pay is shown separately instead of when you take your holidays.
How do I Opt out of the pension?
Legally we cannot opt out for you, you must follow the process provided by Nest: https://www.nestpensions.org.uk/schemeweb/memberhelpcentre/opting-out/how-to-opt-out.html
How do I increase my pension contribution?
As standard you will be contributing 5%, if you wish to increase that please email payroll@priorityrecruitment.co.uk and confirm what you would like to increase that to.

Nest will send you a welcome pack on email, however you can also view information here:

As a PAYE employer, we keep all deductions transparent and limited strictly to what is required by law. We do not charge for uniforms, admin fees, or umbrella-style margins.
The deductions we make from your pay include:
✅ Statutory Deductions
These are required by HMRC and include:
Income Tax (PAYE): Calculated based on your earnings and personal tax code.
Employee National Insurance Contributions (NICs): Payable once your earnings pass the weekly or monthly threshold.
Student Loan Repayments: If applicable, these are automatically deducted based on your earnings and loan plan.
Pension Contributions: If you are enrolled in a workplace pension scheme, your contributions will be deducted unless you opt out.
✅ Court-Ordered Deductions (if applicable)
If we receive an official order (e.g. an Attachment of Earnings Order), deductions will be made from your pay in accordance with the legal instruction.
💡 Note: All deductions are variable and depend on your earnings and personal tax circumstances. You will always be able to see a full breakdown of any deductions on your payslip.
If you have any questions about your deductions or payslip, just let us know—we’re happy to help.
From the 1st July 2026 we are moving to Onetouch Health for your clocking in & out; this app is considerably more reliable and flexible than the previous one we used and should make life much easier. From 1st August (or in most cases a bit sooner) we will bring all care notes, logging etc under this too - meaning you will have just one app; Onetouch Health (not log my care & timetemp*).
Please see below the link to guidance on installing the relevant app for your device;
For the access pin, this will be sent direct by the ops team on whatsapp / email. Reach out if you have not had it.
