The email will guide you through the process of providing certain personal information necessary for payment purposes.

Once you have completed all the required details, your setup will be complete and ready to go.

Your Recruitment Consultant should always be the first point of contact for any timesheet and pay questions.

If you are unable to contact your Consultant for any reason, you can also email getpaid@veruspeople.com.
