1. Things To Take To Work
On Your First Day

2. Your first day at a new job can be quite stressful and it can be difficult to
remember to take everything you may need. Here is a list of a few items:

3. The address and a map
If you are planning to use the maps on your phone it may be advisable to print
out a map of your journey just in case your battery dies or you can’t get a
GPS signal. You don’t want to be late on your first day because you got lost.
Remember, first impressions count.

4. Job confirmation letter/email
It is vital you bring the job confirmation letter/email on the first day as it
usually contains instructions on where to report and who to ask for when
you arrive. The person greeting you may not be the person who conducted
your interview.

5. A notepad and a couple of pens
No doubt you will have a lot of information to take in so it’s a good idea to take
notes whether it’s to remember names or to jot down the company procedures.

6. Identification and proof of address
You may be asked to provide some form of identification and/or proof of
address. These may also be necessary to complete your new
employee paperwork for the HR department.

7. Your photo driving licence or passport should be sufficient – but make sure
they are valid. For the proof of address, a recent phone bill or utility bill
issued within the last three months should be acceptable.

8. Bank details
You will need to take your bank details in on your first day so the
accounts department know where to transfer your wages. You will need
your bank name, sort code and your account number.

9. P45 or equivalent document
Your employer will need your p45 or equivalent tax documents to send
to HMRC so they can determine your tax code. If you don’t have your p45,
you can ask for a p46 form that you will need to complete and return
to your employer.

10. National Insurance number
Your National Insurance number ensures that your National Insurance
contributions and income tax are correct and recorded against you.

11. A positive attitude
Employers want to see enthusiasm and positivity from you. This is a must on
your first day regardless of how little you’ve slept the night before due to
nerves or for any other reason you may not be feeling at your best.

12. A continued positive attitude can create a productive environment.
Good luck!
