FAQs

Common questions about timesheets, expenses, and VAT

Which portal you use depends on your client — your Rullion consultant will send your portal link and login details during onboarding. Daily rate workers: enter a decimal between 0 and 1 for each day. Hourly rate workers: enter hours worked per day. A standard day is 8 hours. If you are unsure and can't find your access details in an email from when you started your assignment, send the details of your query to us, using this quick and easy form, messages are monitored regularly.

Expenses must be submitted in line with the client process - your onboarding handbook confirms the method for your specific client. If your limited company is VAT registered, check options in your portal as this might be calculated automatically. Expenses must net down before submitting. Mileage: use the current HMRC approved mileage rate (published on GOV.UK), unless specified otherwise by the client.

Notify Rullion as soon as possible and send a copy of your VAT registration certificate to our pay query team, your payment process will need to be updated to reflect your VAT status.

Email pay queries

If your VAT registration is backdated, you'll need to submit a VAT-only invoice to Rullion so we can process the VAT owed on previous payments. Contact the pay query team to discuss the process.

Email pay queries

Once you're VAT registered, Rullion will send a self-billing form to you. Self-billing means we can pay you from your approved timesheet each week and removes the need for an invoice. The self-billing form is available to download below. Contact the pay query team if you're unsure which applies to you.

Email pay queries

As a limited company contractor, you are responsible for your own holiday planning, sick pay, and statutory pay arrangements. These are managed through your company rather than by Rullion. If you have questions about your entitlements, refer to your contract documentation or seek independent advice. If you are off sick, make your Rullion consultant and manager aware.
