There is additional information regarding Timesheets in the section below.

Pay day

Your wages are paid directly into your nominated bank account and will be available on Tuesday* (if timesheet has been authorised by Monday noon) or Wednesday* (if timesheet has been authorised by Wednesday noon) provided that:

  • you have given us your correct bank details
  • we have received your timesheet by the deadline

Timesheets

Dixon Appointments’ employees are paid weekly. To assist us paying you accurately and on time, please review the following guidelines in relation to your timesheet:

  • To be paid you must complete an online timesheet
  • You will need a username (your email address) and password. If you have forgotten your password use the "Forgotten Password" link on the log in page .
  • If more than one assignment is listed, make sure you select the appropriate job with the correct dates.
  • When submitting your timesheet, carefully check that you are submitting the correct hours worked. Hours worked are always entered in 24-hour format.
  • Check that you have completed all the fields in the timesheets correctly. This must include authorised overtime and allowances. All claims must be substantiated by a separate email from your supervisor.
  • You can either ‘save’ your timesheet for later use or when you have completed the entire timesheet you can ‘submit' for client approval.
  • The client will receive notification via email once you have submitted your timesheet.
  • You can log in and check that your timesheet has been authorised on Monday mornings to ensure your pay is not delayed.
  • ‘Submitted Timesheets’ links to timesheets that your supervisor is yet to approve.
  • ‘Incomplete Timesheets’ links to timesheets that you have saved but not submitted.
  • ‘Rejected Timesheets’ links to timesheets that have been rejected by your supervisor.
  • Remember, your timesheet is a legal document and must be complete, accurate and legible.
  • Approved timesheets received after 12.00 pm on Monday are processed in the Wednesday pay run.
  • If your name, address, telephone number or bank details change, notify us immediately.
  • You and your supervisor must authorise the timesheet or your pay will not be processed.
  • Prior to working any overtime, make sure it is approved by the supervisor who authorises your timesheet. Ensure the overtime recorded on your timesheet is also authorised.
