All pre-employment checks should be completed before a candidate starts in their role.
Some pre-employment checks can be waived in certain circumstances, if required. The checks that can possibly be waived are as follows:
Qualifications
Where ‘equivalent experience’ has been stated as an option in the Job Description (JD) or Person Specification (PS).
If a Recruiting Manager (RM) requests a waiver and 'equivalent experience' is not stated in the JD/PS, HR Shared Services (HRSS) will need authorisation from the Corporate HR team.
New Employee Starter Form
For Internal Candidates and Secondees In you should mark the Blocking ad-hoc employment check: New Starter Form in the Employment checks section in Trac as Not Required.
All other pre-employment checks listed below, require approval to be waived from the Corporate HR team.
Occupational Health (OH)
References
Identity (ID) / Right to Work (RTW)
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)
Requesting a candidate to start prior to pre-employments checks being complete.
Should a RM want a candidate to start before the pre-employment checks are complete, HRSS will require written approval from the Corporate HR team.
A Trac note confirming the approval will not be accepted by HRSS
