'Paid as Claimed' - Payments
1. Making payments
Unlike the Main Payroll, individuals paid on the 'Paid as Claimed' basis do not automatically receive a regular salary every month. As the term implies, payment is only made as and when it is claimed.
In order to ensure that a payment is made, therefore, the individual concerned should be asked to produce an invoice or claim on either a regular basis or a milestone basis (this should be covered in the contract that is drawn up to cover their engagement).
An overtime claim form should be submitted to the Payroll Office, duly authorized, and clearly stating the number of hours worked and the hourly rate. This rate will be aligned to the grade as per the contract.
2. Changes in rates and other changes
There are currently no automatic changes in the rates paid to individuals under the 'Paid as Claimed' facility.
Administrators should pay particular attention, therefore, to any contractually agreed rate changes which may occur in longer-term contracts, and notify the Payroll Team when these rates apply. In order to do this, the first available claim form submitted to the Payroll Office after the rates have been agreed, should include the newly revised hourly rate.
