Our Pay Services team is responsible for paying Trust staff accurately and on time using the NHS's ESR system (Employee Staff Record) and information from a variety of sources i.e. from -

• New Starter, Change and Termination forms,
• E-Pay Healthroster system
• Local policies e.g. On Call,
• External bodies e.g. NHS Employers (Terms and Conditions), NHS Pensions, HMRC etc
• Our staff themselves.

Staff wanting to access the information that we hold on their ESR, and in some cases change personal information (e.g. Bank details) can do so via ESR's Employee Self Service option.
