What is King's Talent Bank?
King’s Talent Bank is a cloud-based system owned by King’s College London, the service offered provides King's College London student workers, temporary staff, alumni, visiting lecturers and contractors work opportunities that are non-permanent.
Why are we moving to Kings Talent Bank?
To stop using the paper payment forms (so no more queuing up to get your form signed at the end of exam!)
To have a safer and a more transparent payment system
Invigilators will get paid more frequently (once a week!)
Kings Talent Bank will enable invigilators to track down their payments, request references, P45s and other things online
Kings Talent Bank will also enable invigilators to apply for other temporary work within King’s
When are we moving to Kings Talent Bank?
From 1 December 2018
What will change?
From 1 December 2018 invigilators will need to submit their worked hours electronically via Kings Talent Bank for all exams run by Examinations Team
The Examinations Team will approve the hours electronically
Invigilators will get paid on a weekly basis
The flat payment rate changes to £10.20/hour and the holiday pay can be claimed back
Why is the rate changing?
Our current rate is £11.30 per hour, including statutory holiday pay. Due to the temporary nature of the work offered, invigilators are unable to take the actual holiday and at the same time they are unable to claim any money back with this arrangement.
Processing payments via Kings Talent Bank will allow invigilators to claim their holiday pay (£1.10/hour) back which is useful to some people as it adds extra bonus and helps with taxes. So with this in mind, the pay rate remains the same (£10.20+£1.10=£11.30)
