Payment of Salary

Salaries are paid on the last Friday of the month. SpRs are responsible for ensuring that starting salary documents are forwarded to the Medical Personnel Department at the Deanery as quickly as possible to ensure that salary details are processed on commencement in post. SpRs should also ensure that a P45 is submitted as soon as it is received from their previous employer. Any errors in payment will be rectified the month following the discovery of the mistake. Please be aware that this may mean the recovery of an overpayment paid in error in the previous month.

The Payroll Deaprtment address is:

The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
Payroll Department
Suite D20
Josephs Well
Hanover Walk
LEEDS
LS3 1AB

If you need to contact the Payroll Department, please ensure you have your payroll number to hand. This number is personal to each SpR and will assist staff in finding payroll details. The Leeds Teaching Hospitals employ approximately 20,000 staff. Having the payroll number to hand will save time!

 

Estimation of Salary on Commencement in Post

In accordance with the relevant provision of the Whitley Council Terms and Conditions of Service, The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has introduced a method of calculating previous NHS service on commencement to determine starting salaries. The Trust will determine the starting salary on the basis of previous NHS Service supplied on the application form, starting documents and/or most recent payslip and will, therefore, pay SpRs on the appropriate point on the salary scale from the first day of employment.

This is subject to verification from previous NHS employers, and if this results in an overpayment of salary, SpRs will be required to repay any amounts overpaid. SpRs are reminded that the information supplied should be accurate to the best of their knowledge. To knowingly supply false information is regarded as gross misconduct under the Trust’s disciplinary rules and may lead to disciplinary action being taken.
