Pay Dates and Payroll Deadlines
In general, pay day for the University is the 28th of each month; unless it falls on a weekend, in which case it is the Friday preceding the 28th.
Tax Matters
The Payroll Services section liaises with HM Revenue & Customs and is responsible for deducting income tax from employees' salaries.
National Insurance Contributions
The UK Government is decreasing the main employee National Insurance contributions from 10% to 8% from April 2024. Therefore, you will see a decrease in National Insurance deductions for the eligible part of your earnings.
