Recommend a Friend - reminder

Hopefully you are aware of our current promotion which puts more money in your pocket when you introduce your friends to us - you and your friend will receive £50.00 after their 8th payment is made to them through Gabem.

It's simple, just pass them our details and make sure they include your Gabem reference on the application form. After your friend has been paid through Gabem eight times (eight week-endings paid) you will both receive £50. Your friend will receive their £50 in their 9th payment, and you will receive yours in your next payment through Gabem. The more friends you recommend the more £50.00's you will receive. Payments are subject to tax and NI.

End of year Documents

As we are coming up to the end of the financial year, it is a requirement for you to receive your end of year documents. Please note we can not process them until after the end of this financial year, 5th April 2009. You need to receive your P60 by the 31st May 2009 and your P11D by 6th July 2009. We will ensure that you receive these documents by the required dates.

Umbrella Company Expenses:

Finally, a reminder that any expenses incurred for this financial year (up to Sunday 5th April) need to be with us during the week of 6th April to enable us to reimburse them to you in your next payment. As Friday 10th April is a Bank Holiday you must submit your claim by Wednesday 8th April to ensure payment on Thursday 9th April (if you are weekly paid). Please note that we are unable to carry expenses over to the new financial year so it is very important that you get them to us in time, or you will lose the benefit.
