Where am I? Tap Burton / Swad / Off on any day to set that date β€” it overrides your usual pattern for that week only. Days you've marked as leave, sick or requested elsewhere show here too and can't be double-booked. Set your usual branch pattern in Settings.

Each month's gross is the paid hours in its period Γ— your rate, so months genuinely differ with the mix of days. Annual leave and bank holidays count as paid; your flexible day off is handled on the calendar. Pay lands on the 30th, rolled back to the previous Friday on weekends (clause 9.1).

Am I being paid correctly?

Copy the figures straight off your payslip. The hub works out the paid hours for that slip's period from your pattern and calendar, then compares line by line and explains any gap. Hours = basic + holiday hours added together.

Flexible day off: your usual pattern (set in Settings) is just the default. Tap a normal working day to cycle working β†’ annual leave β†’ day off; tap a usual day off (greyed) to mark it Worked. So if one week you take Saturday off and work the Thursday instead: tap that Saturday twice (day off) and tap the Thursday once (worked) β€” the hours balance out automatically. Bank holidays are paid and marked automatically. For sick days and half days, use the form below β€” tapping an existing sick/half day reopens it for editing.

Day details β€” sick days & half days

Unpaid sick days and the unpaid part of half days come off the period's paid hours, so the Wage tab and payslip check stay accurate. Under clause 11, SSP starts after three waiting days (Β£118.75/week in 2026/27, β‰ˆ Β£23.75 a working day) and needs self-certification up to 7 days β€” any company sick pay beyond that is discretionary. If a half-day's remainder is annual leave, it deducts Β½ a day from your allowance.

Staffordshire dates, which all three schools follow. "Your working days" counts your pattern days (minus bank holidays) inside each break β€” the days needing leave or childcare. Green-underlined calendar days are school closures.

For payment plans (sofa, car, catalogue etc.) set the end month and the table counts down what's left. Due days after the 30th land after pay day β€” anything due the 1st–29th comes out of the previous pay packet, worth knowing when the 30th moves to a Friday.

In development β€” the projection uses your actual average monthly reduction (or your plan with interest, until there's history). It's an estimate, not a promise: interest quirks, fees and variable spending on credit will shift it. Overdrafts charge daily, so clearing them first usually saves the most.

Each pick spends leave next to bank holidays, your Thursdays/Sundays and weekends so a little buys a long stretch. Ranked by days off per leave day. Tap "Book these" to drop the leave onto your calendar; tap again to release it. Already-off days in a run cost you nothing.

Usual working pattern β€” hours per day (0 = usual day off)

This is only your default week β€” any individual week can differ by tapping days on the calendar. All days have a one-hour unpaid lunch. Saturday stays at 7.25 paid hours because payroll pays the contracted rota (08:45–17:00), even though the actual start is 9:00 β€” change it to 7 only if payroll ever switches to actual hours.

How the estimate works. Gross = paid hours in the pay period Γ— your slip rate. Paid hours count every day in your pattern (including paid leave and bank holidays), minus days marked off, plus days marked worked. PAYE uses your tax code's allowance with 2026/27 bands (20% to Β£50,270, 40% above, applied monthly); NI is 8% above Β£1,047.50/month; student loan deductions are 2026/27 thresholds rounded down to whole pounds, as HMRC does. With relief at source, 80% of the pension contribution leaves your pay. Real PAYE is cumulative across the year, so an individual month can differ slightly and correct itself later β€” the checker says so when that's the likely story.
