Payroll

The Payroll section of the Payroll & Pensions Office, administers the University's payroll - this is run on a monthly basis to include Salaried Employees, Casual Operational Employees and Casual Sundry Fees.  We also administer the KSS Pensioners Payroll.

The aim of the Payroll section is to pay each member of University staff accurately and on time in accordance with the terms and conditions of their contracts of employment, and in accordance with the statutory requirements set by Government legislation.

Pay day is always the penultimate working day of the month.

The section provides all aspects of payroll related advice, gross to net (i.e. less income tax, national insurance, superannuation etc), to staff.  For queries about contract details you may also wish to contact the Human Resources Link Manager with responsibility for your Faculty/School/Directorate.

The section also completes all the necessary returns in respect of PAYE Tax and National Insurance to HM Revenue & Customs on behalf of the University.
