The Payroll schedule provides details of the cut off and processing times for the tax year from April to the following March and can be found here.
The ‘cut off’ date is the date that all timesheet information must be received by Pay Office. Timesheet staff will need to ensure that they submit their timesheets to their line manager for authorisation in accordance with deadlines agreed with their manager so that this deadline can be met. Failure to meet these deadlines will result in timesheets being held over to the following month.
Other details affecting pay such as change of bank details and income tax forms and pension information should also be sent to Pay Office Darwin C-2 before the ’cut off’ date.
Pay and Pensions Office process all the information received up to the ‘cut off’ date, by the ‘payrun date’. The information is then checked before payroll is finalised and salaries are paid. If you have any late changes, other than timesheet information, even if the ’cut off’ date has passed, please contact your Pay Clerk to see if this can be included in the pay run.
Salaries will be paid into bank accounts early on the ‘pay date’ which is always the last working day of the month or Christmas Closure date.
