However, the onboarding process starts way before the employee signs their contract or sits on their office chair. For a successful onboarding process, the human resources director must think about making all candidates comfortable, by starting with the recruitment and selection processes.<\/p>\n<p>A successful onboarding process will make the employees feel loved and more motivated. The process also improves the employees&#8217; productivity and working environment, reduces absenteeism and lowers the company&#8217;s turnover rate. All these benefits arise by ensuring a new employee feels comfortable in your company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are many different types of onboarding processes<\/strong>, as it depends on how the company is managed and by whom. Nevertheless, there are some really important details to remember that will help you make your new employees feel valued from day one.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Best Practices to Improve The Employee Onboarding Process in 2023\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vf9EYg_Hfeg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><b><a id=\"whatis\"><\/a>What is a New Starter Checklist and How is it Used?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new starter checklist is a form that must be completed by employers in order to gather information about their new employees. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/starter-checklist-for-paye\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HMRC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you should fill out the new starter checklist if new employees <\/span><b>do not have a P45<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, if they have a <\/span><b>student loan<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, if their<\/span><b> personal details differ<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from those shown on their P45, or if they <\/span><b>have been temporarily sent to work in the UK<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by their overseas employer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is crucial for both the employee and employer to provide accurate information on the new starter checklist in order to avoid <\/span><b>paying the wrong amount of tax<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or student loan deductions. Still, the starter checklist cannot be used to alter the employee&#8217;s tax code. However, the employee can utilise the &#8220;check your Income Tax online&#8221; service to notify HMRC of any changes that may impact their tax code.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-89785 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/04192500\/new-starter-checklist_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"new-starter-checklist\" width=\"720\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/04192500\/new-starter-checklist_11zon.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/04192500\/new-starter-checklist_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/04192500\/new-starter-checklist_11zon-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/04192500\/new-starter-checklist_11zon-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/04192500\/new-starter-checklist_11zon-1536x1026.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b><a id=\"P46\"><\/a>What is a P46 form and how is it different? <\/b><b>(Plus P45 and P60)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">P45, P46 and P60 are all <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/paye-forms-p45-p60-p11d\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PAYE forms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> related to employment and taxation in the UK.

It contains information about pay and tax deductions for the tax year. The P45 has four parts:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Part 1<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is given to the employee when they leave their job.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Part 1A<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is retained by the employer for their records.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Parts 2 and 3<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are given to the employee and should be given to their new employer when they start their next job.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the P45 provides the new employer with important information about the <\/span><b>employee&#8217;s tax code and pay<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this will help you to determine the correct amount of tax to deduct from the new hire&#8217;s pay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><b>new starter checklist is another name for a P46.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The names are often used interchangeably and the forms are both used at the start of a new job, but they are used in slightly different circumstances. A P46 is the form\u00a0 for standard situations, whereas a <\/span><b>new starter checklist is a form that an employee completes if they do not have a P45 <\/b><b><i>or<\/i><\/b><b> if they have a student loan <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(regardless of whether they have a P45). The employee must give the completed form to their employer. It contains important information about their tax code and pay that the employer needs in order to complete their first Full Payment Submission (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/running-payroll\/reporting-to-hmrc\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FPS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, a <\/span><b>P60<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a form that a <\/span><b>team member receives from their employer at the end of the tax year<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It shows the employee&#8217;s total pay and tax deductions for the year. The worker should keep their P60 for their own records, as they may need it for things like claiming back overpaid tax.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><a id=\"complete\"><\/a>How to Complete a New Starter Checklist<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To properly complete the starter checklist, you\u2019ll need to follow the best practices shared by HMRC.
