Registering with Unitemps
The University is moving from the current My Working Hours App to a new, University-run service called Unitemps, based in the Careers Service. Find out more.
If you have received an email inviting you to register with Unitemps, please see the frequently asked questions (FAQs) below.
What happens after I create my Unitemps account?
You will be contacted in due course with an email invitation to register for your assigned role. Creating your Unitemps account in advance will help speed up this process.
You will also receive further instructions on how to complete your onboarding, including how to carry out your Eligibility to Work check.
Why do I need to upload a CV and two references as part of the onboarding process?
This is a standard requirement for all Unitemps roles, even if you are already in post. You will not be able to proceed with the onboarding process unless you upload a CV and enter details of two references.
To avoid delays, we recommend uploading a basic CV and entering reference details for now. You can update these later, and they will not affect your current role.
I’ve recently worked as a student worker or have an ongoing role. Do I still need a new Eligibility to Work check with the Unitemps team?
Yes. You will still need to complete a new Eligibility to Work check as part of the Unitemps onboarding process.
Although you remain employed by the University, you will be working under Unitemps employment conditions and will have a new employee record on the Unitemps system. This is required to meet regulations.
What documents do I need to complete an Eligibility to Work check with the Unitemps team?
You will be asked to provide documents as part of the Eligibility to Work check with Unitemps. Further instructions will be provided by email.
A list of acceptable documents to demonstrate your right to work in the UK can be found on the .
Why does my Unitemps pay rate look lower than before?
Unitemps displays your hourly pay rate separately from your holiday pay, whereas roles previously through the Student Employment on Campus system were advertised with holiday pay included in the total hourly rate.
Although you remain employed by the University, you will be working under Unitemps employment conditions and will have a new employee record on the Unitemps system. This means your pay has not decreased — it is simply shown differently. Your overall pay, including holiday pay, remains the same.
What happens if I don’t complete my Unitemps registration and onboarding before 29 June?
You must complete your full Unitemps registration and onboarding, including your Eligibility to Work check, before you can start or continue working from 29 June; otherwise, this may cause delays and you will be unable to work until it is complete.
You will receive confirmation from Unitemps once your registration and onboarding process is complete and you can start/continue working.
Where can I find help with the Unitemps registration?
If you need help with registering or completing your onboarding, please contact the Unitemps team at unitemps@newcastle.ac.uk.
