7th March 2022

From 1 April 2022 we will be moving away from our current payroll provider Shared Business Services (SBS) to a new payroll provider University Hospitals of Derby & Burton NHS FT (UHDB).

UHDB currently have an in-house payroll team which has now been expanded to provide a new payroll service to Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS FT.  UHDB also provide a payroll service to Derbyshire Healthcare NHS FT. As all NHS Trusts use the national NHS Electronic Staff Record system (ESR) to run payroll, it is simply a change of who will be processing our payroll. 

What's changing:

Payroll contact telephone number – a new telephone number will be made available enabling direct contact with your payroll officer.

Payroll contact email address – a new email address will be made available for you to contact and send documentation to payroll.

 What isn’t changing:

  • ESR – we will continue to use ESR in the same way as we do now.
  • eExpenses – we will continue to use electronic expenses (currently ePay, changing to EASY).
  • eRoster - we will continue to use ALLOCATE rostering in the same way as we do now.
  • Payslip – you will continue to receive an ESR electronic payslip as you do now.
  • New starter/change forms/termination paperwork etc. – we will continue to use all existing Trust systems and paperwork in the same way as we do now.
  • People Services – we will continue to work with our colleagues in the same way as we do now.
  • HMRC – there is no change to your tax reference and the HMRC contact number remains the same 0300 2003300
