PAYROLL INFORMATION

Please take the time to fill out your timesheet legibly and include all pertinent information. The work order number is to be written in the upper right corner of the time sheet. A time sheet should not be turned in without the work order number and both signatures, or this could cause a delay in paying you.

Fill out the date, start, and stop time as indicated in the example below. Remember to round time worked to the nearest five minutes (if you arrive at 8:13 write 8:15, or if you arrive at 8:12, write 8:10). If you want to calculate the hours you worked use the TOTAL boxes under the days worked as in the example. Do not write directions, phone numbers, or other notes on the timesheet. Do not make changes to your time sheet after it is signed. Make a supplemental one if necessary.

Your work order number is vital to the processing of your time sheet. This number tells whether Dental Professionals pays or the Doctor pays you.

The work order number consists of two letters followed by numbers. The first letter indicates who does payroll. "L" is Dental Professionals payroll, "B" means the Doctor pays you. The second letter indicates job type: A - assistant, H - hygienist, R - receptionist, D - dentist. The numbers are locator numbers for the order. For example:

#LH351
L - Dental Professionals Pays
H - Hygiene Job
351 - Locator Number

#BR187
B - Doctor Pays
R - Receptionist Job
187 -Locator Number

We are required by the federal government to pay you exactly as your name appears on your social security card. Therefore, the name you put on your W-4 form should match your social security card name. If we pay you by a different name your funds may not go to the correct social security account even though the number is the same. If you need to upgrade your social security card, you can call Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or go to www.ssa.gov on the Internet.

Our clients may choose to pay your mileage and/or parking expenses, however this is optional and must be approved prior to your assignment.

Tax Information: State and Federal Laws require that while you are working as a dental temporary you are treated as an employee. YOU DO NOT QUALIFY TO BE AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Therefore, you become an employee of the employer who pays you and that employer must deduct all applicable payroll taxes. If you are being paid directly by the practices office (“B” Jobs) you must complete a W-4 and an I-9 form for that office. Practices that pay you directly are required to send you a W-2 after the end of the year. Dental Professionals will send you a W-2 at the end of the year for all “L” Jobs. Please call our office if you need to revise your W-4 information.

Timesheets must be submitted weekly: Timesheets must be received in our office by mail or placed in our drop box by 9:00 AM Monday morning in order to be paid on the next payroll date. Paychecks are mailed out every other Thursday. You will be charged a fee if you request a replacement check. Be sure to notify the bookkeeper IMMEDIATELY if there is any discrepancy in your social security number, address, or spelling of your name. We have included our payroll calendars on our Forms page. Please call if you have any questions.

Timesheet Drop Box: Timesheets can be left anytime in our drop box. The drop box is located in the underground parking garage at our West Seattle office. (Entrance is on 42nd Street)
Walking: From the clock tower enter the parking garage and turn right. The box is white with a Dental Professionals logo on the front and is attached to the wall between the walkway entrance to the garage and the attendant's booth.
Driving: Go into the parking garage. The box is on your left, attached to the wall between the attendant's booth and the doors to the building. The box is white and has our Dental Professionals logo on the front.

"L" and "B" JOBS' TIMESHEETS MUST BE TURNED IN WEEKLY!
