Student Rep Payment

Provided we have received all the required information from you and the faculty have supplied us with confirmation of your attendance, you will be eligible to be paid at one of our three annual payment points, just before Christmas, Easter, and during the summer.

Reps will receive an attendance allowance for attending duly recognised rep meetings. The Inland Revenue deems this attendance allowance to be taxable. Student reps are under no obligation to receive the attendance allowance. Student reps are not engaged under a contract of employment with the Student Union. As there is no contract of employment reps are not obliged to perform any specific rep duties in order to receive the attendance allowance, apart from attending the meeting and attending the inital training.

The Union acknowedges that it is now the norm for students to work part time and the attendance allowance is in recognition of the fact that students are choosing to spend their time enhancing their academic experience and that of their fellow students .

What we need to know - information required?

In addition to your bank details, we also are required by Revenue and Customs to check your identification documents. You will need to supply us with either:

• Valid Passport

OR

• Full birth certificate (showing both of your parents names) AND evidence of your National Insurance Number (eg NI card, old payslip etc.)

You can take these documents to your UWESU campus office, or if you are based at Frenchay, to room 4F10. We will also offer an opportunity to submit these details at the end of each training and induction session.

Not been paid?

If you have not been paid and you feel you should have been, please contact your student rep coordinator. We will need the following details from you:

• Your Name/Course/Year of study
• Name and Date of committee you attended
