Service Announcement: Christmas Payroll Preparation – Important Submission Dates

Christmas Payroll Preparation – Important Submission Dates

As we approach the festive season, the PeoplePlus ILS Payment Services Team is working hard to ensure all Personal Assistant payments are processed and paid on time. To help us manage this busy period smoothly, please take a moment to review the cut-off dates and submission deadlines on the right. Timely submissions will help ensure your Personal Assistant (PA) is paid correctly and without delay. Submit timesheets or expected hours for your PA in advance, especially if their schedule changes over the festive period. If you’re submitting estimated hours, any necessary adjustments can be made on your next timesheet.

Peer Support Meeting

This event provides the opportunity to join others in receipt of direct payments. The aim is for you to share your experiences and to lead the support and shaping of the service you receive, in a relaxed way.

Employment Law Training

Do you receive a Direct Payment or Personal Health Budget and use it to employ Personal Assistant(s)? This session provides an overview of the legal obligations you have when employing your own PA and looks at the support available.
