School Tutor Test Page

Thank you for your assistance in supporting Junior and Leaving cert students from our DEIS Secondary schools to enable them to achieve their best potential in progressing to third level education. Your school is responsible for recruiting you and allocating your hours to you. We at Access UCC PLUS are responsible for ensuring accurate and timely payment of your tutoring salary contract, once you read and follow the instructions below in full.

Please note the final payroll deadline for submitting claims for the year 23/24 is the 31st May 2024.

Any late payment requests after this date will be processed in September 2024 via alternative means.

What Is the Payment Process?

As a tutor, you must claim your tutoring hours by using the Access UCC Online Pay Form.

You can only make one form for the whole year. Your PPS number will be used as a unique identifier, so please read the instructions carefully before filling out your form.

Here are the steps to follow:

Fill out your contract and personal details, school details, and bank details on the online form. You only need to do this once.
In the same form, input your first set of hours worked and upload a proof document to verify your hours. This document must be signed and supplied by your School GC/Admin Office. You can upload a photo, PDF, or scan of the document.
You can make one transaction per payroll month which runs from the 11th of one month to the 10th of another month. Typically this means one school proof per month. In certain circumstances, you can upload up to two school proofs in that one monthly transaction. See FAQ below.
After the payroll deadline of the 10th of the month (except Christmas - Dec 2nd), we will process your first ever claim. Within 5 working days after the deadline, we will email you your own unique weblink to your stored personal survey. Use this link to return to your saved online form and claim for any further hours worked in the year. Please check your spam folder for emails from hear@ucc.ie or University College Cork notifications@cognitoforms.com and add them to your safe senders/whitelist.
Each month afterwards, use the unique link contained in the email sent to you to get back online to your partially completed form. All your personal and bank details are stored and retrieved from your first visit. You just need to answer 3 short questions and upload your school proof document to verify your hours.
We will process your form after the deadline. If it's incomplete or inaccurate, we will contact you directly and it may delay your payment until you fix any errors the following month.
Claim your pay regularly, on a monthly basis, instead of saving it until May.
Keep your own personal record of the exact dates and hours worked throughout the year, as Access UCC PLUS does not record this level of detail. You will need this information for accurate processing of requests from Revenue.ie and the Department of Social Welfare, which will be handled by your school and not UCC. After each claim is processed, you will receive an automated email showing the details you entered in your online form. Please keep these emails for your own records.

Supporting Document: You must upload a proof document to validate your claim each month. This document should be signed and supplied by your School GC/Admin Office. It can be a photo, PDF, or scan of the document.
