After you start

Once you are successfully on board, please review the below information which will assist with your induction and help you navigate your first few weeks.

Contract

Please review the contents of your contract and ensure that work only takes place within the start and end date. We recommend that you diarise the contract end date, to serve as a useful reminder to help ensure that work does not take place after contract expiry. If you are requested to carry out work outside of contract, please contact your local Professional Services or Faculty Administration Team who will be able to request a new contract – please do not work until a new contract has been issued.

Payment

Payment will be made monthly by credit transfer upon submission of an approved claim (a separate claim should be completed for each calendar month and will be paid in arrears). Claims submitted by 7th of the following month should be paid at the end of the same month. Your Faculty or Professional Service will be in touch with your employee number, occupancy number and any local arrangements which are required for your claim. If you have queries about what you have been paid or been taxed having received your pay and payslip please contact Payroll directly at [email protected]. If you have not already provided it, please attach your P45 or HMRC New Starter Checklist to your first pay claim.

IT access

Access to Employee Self Service (our online system for viewing payslips) and a staff IT account (including a BU email address) will be automatically set up where required; login details will be shared by your Faculty or Professional Service.

Smartcard

We do not automatically issue staff ID cards (smartcards) to PTHP staff. If you wish to apply for a smartcard for ID purposes, for door access permissions, accessing barrier control car parks, ease of printing or for the library, you can request approval from your line manager and make the request to Smartcard Services ([email protected]). If you require a card for printing only, please apply for a print card using https://bournemouth.service-now.com.

Parking

Staff who hold a smartcard (or an email from their line manager confirming they are eligible) may be able to purchase an occasional use daily e-parking permit. Staff interested in applying for this parking permit should email [email protected].

Staff interested in using the daily e-parking permit should refer to the scheme guidance notes (pdf 272kb) and parking FAQs (pdf 172kb). This includes information on the use of a smartphone app for purchasing and registering daily e-permit parking sessions.

Staff interested in applying for an annual PTHP Staff permit can apply online via the Staff Parking Permit Application.

Travelling to BU

Directions, transportation and maps to both campuses can be found online.

We wish you all the very best in your new role at Bournemouth University.
