I have done some casual work - how do I get paid?

Hourly paid casual workers

The majority of casual workers are hourly paid and will need to submit a timesheet through the Aston Staff Portal for each week they work. In a small number of areas in the University, your manager will submit a timesheet on your behalf - check first with your manager to make sure this isn't the case for you.

Fee based casual workers

If you are being paid a fixed fee for the work you are doing, you will need to speak to your manager about them submitting a timesheet on your behalf.
