Frequently asked

We have a target start date for a new hire. When should we begin?
Begin planning before treating the start date as fixed. Share the employee’s role, nationality, current location and immigration status, together with the employer’s details. We can then identify the application steps, document dependencies and actions required from each party, rather than discovering a missing prerequisite immediately before the planned start.
The person is already in the country or employed elsewhere. Does that change the application?
Yes, the starting position needs to be reviewed rather than treated as a first-time application. Tell us about the current employer or sponsor, existing permissions and the intended change. We identify the transition work to consider before you assume the existing documents cover the new arrangement.
Can we plan an employee’s application and their family’s move together?
Yes. Share the family plans at the beginning, including who intends to move and the preferred timing. We can consider the applications and document preparation together, while distinguishing the requirements, costs and dependencies for each person. Do not assume everyone can follow the same sequence or travel on the same date.
What payroll support may be needed alongside a new hire?
The scope needs to distinguish payroll calculations, payslips, accounting records, statutory reporting and salary payments. These are separate responsibilities, not interchangeable descriptions of one service. Before an engagement, confirm which tasks are covered in the relevant country, who approves each pay run and who is responsible for paying employees.
