About

The payroll department is responsible for calculating and paying salaries and wages, using information provided by the Human Resources Division, HM Revenue and Customs, and by managers and employees themselves.

First you must complete a Leaving Employment Form and give it to your manager who will forward it to Human Resources.   Your P45 (information concerning you pay and tax deducted up until you leave our employment) will be sent to the home address recorded on our system.  Please make sure it is up to date.  

After leaving, you will lose access to online payslips and annual P60 forms, so you may wish to download to your home PC or print paper copies of these before you go.
