Payment for Working Interviews

Payment for Working Interviews

This article explains how payment works for candidates who complete working interviews and/or paid training before their official start date.

Understanding the Working Interview Process

Before a new hire official joins the team, they may have participated in an initial working interview. This stage helps us to evaluate the candidates skills, performance, and fit for the role.

If we decide to  move forward with an offer, the new hire may be invited to complete paid training prior to their official start date. This would be considered a working interview and is, of course, eligible for payment.

When New Hires Can Expect to Be Paid

Payment for working interviews for our new hires are processed through our regular payroll cycle. The new hire will receive payment on the Wednesday after the initial date of hire, or the Wednesday after that.

The exact timing depends on when the working interviews were completed and where that falls within the payroll cutoff period.

Completing the Working Interview Hours Log

To ensure new hires receive their payment timely, it is essential that they complete the Working Interview Hours Form, linked here, ensuring that all time punches have been completed. Without the completion of this log for all time punches, we are unable to verify your hours.

Working Interview Hasn't Been Paid Out?

If a payment was not received, double-check the following:
1. Was the Working Interview Hours Form completed with accurate dates and times?
2. Did you submit it before payroll cutoff?
Think: Have two Wednesdays passed already?

If the answer was yes to either of these, please submit a ticket so we can assist you as soon as possible.
