Your weekly hours should be verified at the end of each week using your candidate Portal via a website link called EPSILON or using your Mobile App AURIGA.

Where a full day is worked, start and finish times must be recorded as 09:00 to 17:00 as hours recorded outside this timeframe may attract an unsocial hours payment. These start and end times along with lunch break are pre populated (09:00 to 17:00 with a 36-minute lunch). Do not overwrite these. Your actual hours worked should be recorded on your flexi sheet.

For overtime – actual hours worked should be recorded along with the appropriate lunch break.

If you are part time staff, please check with your consultant.

When you have finished entering your hours click ‘CLAIM’ – this will lock the timesheet and it will be sent to your line manager for approval.
