Using the LMS portal

Getting started with the LMS portal

Initially, you will receive a ‘Welcome to LMS’ email. This will contain your username and a link to set a password for your account. 

Please bear in mind that your email link will expire, so remember to set your password before the time specified in the email. Once you have set your details you will be able to login.

Key information 

How do I accept terms and conditions?

Please note: You will need to accept the LMS Booking Terms and Conditions via the portal before being able to upload any timesheets. For more information about how to read and accept these terms and conditions, read this quick guide.

Timesheet deadlines

Please ensure you submit your hours by 12pm on Monday to receive payment on the Friday of that week.   

If you have any issues when uploading your timesheet, please reach out to LMS on support@lms.uk.net who will be happy to help you. 

Timesheet statuses explained

On the LMS portal, you’re able to view the status of your timesheets once you have submitted them. There are four different statuses as follows:

Unsubmitted – Timesheet is not completed/submitted 

Authorised – Timesheet has been authorised  for payment

Billed – Timesheet has been paid 

Disputed – Timesheet has been disputed by trust/approver 

Don’t forget your first week appraisal form

Once you have commenced working with the trust, we require you to complete our First shift appraisal form. This needs to be submitted within the first week of your placement.

Payslips

How to access and view your payslip on LMS will differ from trust to trust due to their differing payroll systems. In order to understand how this will work for you, please contact your trust directly. 

Pension options

Your pension options will differ from trust to trust. When you confirm your booking, your recruitment consultant can provide you with the correct details and pension form.  

This will give you all the information you need to ensure you make the right choice for you if you are interested in opting out of the pension scheme and to avoid any unwanted deductions.
