Step 3. The Dallas Pub Company Communications

We have a Broadcast Only WhatsApp groups for employees. Please request to join here and we will accept you in.

Here you will find all sorts of reminders, announcements and instructions from management. We will also keep you updated on events, promotions and internal competitions for you to get involved in.

Step 4. We need to make sure you are set up on payroll correctly.

Please complete the steps as detailed here in this HMRC New Starter Checklist: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/starter-checklist-for-paye

Simply click the link, and scroll down the page to the green “Start now>” button and enter the required information. Then email the form to hello@griffinwhetstone.pub for processing with Payroll.

Important Points to Note:

1) If you have a P45, unless it is in the same tax year it is not valid. When HMRC ask on that link if you have one, and it was issued before April 5th of this year, then just say “no” when asked if you have one.

2) Until you return all the paperwork from points 1, 2 and 3 above you will not be put on payroll and therefore will not receive pay. The quickest and easiest way to ensure that doesn’t happen is by getting all the information to us.

Steps within Rota Ready:

Now that you have completed these forms you will be sent an invitation from our rota system “Rota Ready”.

This is where you will upload your ID, sign your contract and receive the details of your upcoming shifts.

It is also where you shift swap if needed, and request days off or holiday (once you have accrued it.)

You can get a head start by downloading the app here. The organisation is thegriffin

You should receive the invite in the next 24 hours (don’t forget to check your junk!) but if you haven’t please email Rochelle at hello@dallasdoes.co.uk and let her know.
