Frequently asked questions

What is a new employee information form?+

It is a short form capturing the practical details needed to set up a new hire, such as preferred name, contact, role, IT needs and work pattern.

Is this the same as a joining form?+

No. A joining form is the full record with statutory, bank and nominee details. The information form is a lighter set-up sheet often sent before joining.

When should the information form be sent?+

Ideally five to seven working days before the joining date so IT and admin have time to prepare.
