Your Contract and Right to Work Permissions

Before commencing employment, there are a number of key activities all new joiners must undertake - details of each can be found below:

Sign and return your contract

  • Following your verbal offer of employment, you will receive your offer letter and two copies of written particulars of terms and conditions of employment applicable to your employment and a Payroll Information Form.
  • Sign both copies (retain one copy for your records) and return the other to the Human Resources Department by way of acceptance and to enable salary payment. 
  • Your acceptance must be returned within seven days. 

Complete your Right to Work Check

  • It is a legal requirement that the University completes a right to work check for all employees, before they commence employment.
  • Please bring your original passport, visa or Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) to Human Resources Recruitment Section
    (6th Floor, Tay House, Charing Cross, 300 Bath St, Glasgow, G2 4LH between 0900 and 1630 Monday to Friday. 
  • If you do not have one of the documents highlighted above, you may find it helpful to consult the You may wish to consult the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) checklist. 
  • A copy of your documentation will be copied and securely retained for audit purposes.

Supply education certificates

  • In addition, if applicable, please bring along your original qualification / degree certificates for verification.

Review the Probation Policy

It is a condition of employment that all new colleagues serve a probationary period of six months, and our Probation Policy has been designed to help line managers provide support to all new joiners during their first six months in post.

 

It’s important to note that if the University has not been able to conduct a right to work check, prior to your employment, this could delay your start date and your contract of employment may have to be amended.
