The following information applies to general Adecco employment when you are placed on assignment. There are rare occasions when this might vary due to the specific conditions of an assignment and you will be notified of this variation in advance.
In most circumstances the Adecco working week runs from Monday to Sunday (in some instances this may vary in which case you will be notified in advance.).
You will need to account for all hours you work on an assignment by completing a timesheet which you then give to your workplace supervisor or manager to approve, before you or in some cases our client submits it to Adecco. It is your responsibility to complete your timesheet and ensure the detail upon it is correct. This important document is what we need to ensure we can pay you for the hours you work.
Timesheets must be given to Adecco by 10.00am each Monday morning after the conclusion of the previous week when you are placed on assignment. This is so that you can be paid later that week. It is your responsibility to make sure we receive your timesheet.
You can find timesheets
a) At your Adecco branch (in most cases you will be sent one weekly with your payslip if your payslip is posted to you)
b) Online
c) Through WebBase – our online timesheet system. This option is available at some clients we work with who have agreed to submit timesheets to us electronically. If this option is to be used on an assignment you are placed on, you will be provided with a logon and password by your consultant to access and complete your timesheet online.
Your timesheet must be submitted for approval by Monday at 10.00am of each week.
If there is a discrepancy between the hours you provide on your timesheet and those approved by our client, we will discuss this with you.
