How do I get the right Tax Code
If the EU worker has only just arrived in the UK - once you have contacted the Local Benefits office for them to get the National Insurance Number and they have sent off to the Home Office for the Working Registration Scheme - you must send a P46 to your local Tax office. If the EU worker has already been working in the UK they should have a P45 and this will details the Tax Code. Contact your local Tax office for a temporary code for your employee before one is given to them.

What will an EU worker get paid?
All EU worker have the same rights as a UK worker:

The adult rate of the minimum wage (for workers aged 22 and over) £5.05 in October 2005, and to £5.35 in October 2006.

Should our candidates take out extra insurance?
It is very important that any candidate is made aware that if they do not pay for insurance they will have to pay to be returned home in an emergency - this can be very expensive.
