  • If you are working between the 18th and 22nd please make sure your timesheets are submitted by 12pm on Friday 22nd December. There is a short working period the following week, due to the bank holidays, so our payroll needs your timesheets as soon as possible.

Holidays

If you are going to be on leave during the Christmas or New Year weeks then please email to ensure your worked hours do not miss the deadlines please feel free to email our Accounts Team – accounts@essentialemploy.co.uk or call ASAP with your holiday requirements.

Please ensure that when you give your hours to to the team either by email or over the phone let us know when your first day back after the holiday period will be.

It is always your responsibility to submit your own timesheets. We will do our best to remind you but ultimately if you forget then there is little we will be able to do.

We will be in the office over the holidays periodically and a voicemail facility will be in operation. So if you need to contact the team please call the usual number (0330 335 3333) and a member of staff will get back to you as soon as we can.

To ensure your worked hours do not miss the deadlines please feel free to email our Accounts Team – accounts@essentialemploy.co.uk

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the central office.

We hope you have a fantastic Christmas break from everyone at Essential Employment!
