May 2026 brings two bank holidays with important changes to timesheet deadlines and phone line availability for all NSUK agency workers. Here is what you need to know to ensure your pay is not delayed.
Early May Bank Holiday (4th May): Submit by midday Friday 1st May - covers shifts up to Thursday 30th April - payment Friday 8th May
Spring Bank Holiday (25th May): Submit by midday Friday 22nd May - covers shifts up to Thursday 21st May - payment Friday 29th May
Phone lines will be on reduced hours across both periods and closed on both bank holiday Mondays. Bank holiday pay rates vary by client - check with your consultant to confirm yours.
