I’m not sure a National insurance number is proof of the right to work in this country, hence the passport (other solutions are available if you don’t have one - remember the agency just wants to take the easiest route for them). Photocopies of everything are essential. Do you expect them to ask around the office which employee swears blind that they saw them at one point?
Bank details, well you want to get paid don’t you?
Multiple choice is just ridiculous, they should just trust that you know all this stuff don’t they know who you are? [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]
Loggo:
and bear in mind this is before any of them offer me so much as day’s work ■■
There’s no point registering you if they don’t think they can give you a day’s work and they can’t start rushing round trying to get all this stuff when they phone you up at 7am saying someone’s called in sick, how soon can you get there?
“I quite understand a need for employers to check these at interview” I wouldn’t expect there to be any further interview once you’re registered
So in a word, it all seems familiar and normal to me.[emoji106]
