We have a fortnightly pay cycle that occurs on Tuesday. Your team leader or colleague will run through how to submit your hours in Monograph. You should raise any pay queries with the General Manager.

Accurately tracking your time is essential, and we ask that you log both billable and non-billable hours promptly—ideally by the end of each workday.
You’ll receive a login to our time sheeting software, Monograph, from the General Manager, and all your worked hours should be recorded there. Your total hours each week should match your regular working hours.

The company will reimburse you for any reasonable business expenses incurred by you, provided that we approved these expenses and that you provide us with receipts within a reasonable time. Please scan all receipts and send them to the General Manager.
