can mean many things. Each
warehouse is different and
characteristics of the job can be very
different. We will always put every effort
to give you as good understanding of
the job as possible

13. What we don’t offer. . .
As a Temporary Employment Agency we cannot offer you accommodation – we might be able to
refer you to companies providing accommodation but the arrangement will be directly with you
As your Employer we will always put every effort to offer you a stable job with as many hours as
possible but we are unable to guarantee that you will always work 37.5h a week. You have to be
prepared for a possibility that you might be on occasion sent home early or your shift might be
cancelled and you will not be paid for the lost hours.
For some contracts January – March are months in the year where there is very little work and
you have to be prepared that during that time there might not be any hours available – we as a
company will always endover to assist you with another job offer in another part of the country
as long as you are happy to relocate.
We cannot guarantee you will keep you job if you deliver poor attendance, poor performance or
poor attitude. In the event of a gross misconduct (i.e. Theft, fight at work etc.) we will terminate
your assignment immediately and you will not be offered alternative vacancies with Transline
Group.

15. National Insurance Number…
Your National Insurance number is a unique number allocated
to you only.
You retain the number for your whole life.
It makes sure that the National Insurance contributions and tax you pay are properly
recorded against your name. It also acts as a reference number when communicating with
the Department for Work and Pensions and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
If you start work or set up on a self-employed basis, you must apply for a National Insurance
number if you do not already have one. If you have the right to work in the UK, you will need
to telephone Jobcentre Plus on 0845 600 0643 to arrange your National Insurance Number.
Lines are open 8.00 am to 6.00 pm Monday to Friday and are normally less busy before
9am.
You may be required to attend an 'Evidence of identity' interview.
You must apply for a National Insurance number to start work but you don't need to have a
plastic National Insurance number card. You must however have some social proof of your
National Insurance number before you can start work.
Without it you will
be paying
emergency tax

16. Bank Account
When you work in the UK, you are required to open a UK bank account to allow
payment, and prevent issues with TAX and NI payments.
There are many banks to choose from within the UK, and you should visit a
branch of your required bank and ask them for help in opening an account. You
must have your ID documentation with you when applying to open a bank
account.
If you have any problems locating a bank branch,
please speak to a member of the TG team who will
endeavour to help you.
Most Banks will open account for free but you should always read T&C
before signing the agreement.
Sometimes bank representatives offer visit you in a place where you work

17. The cost of living . . .
The cost of living in the UK obviously differs to the cost of living in other
countries. Some items are more expensive, and you may also struggle to find
other items.
There are European shops located throughout the UK, so once you settle in to
the UK, you should ask around and find out where these are, to purchase any
specialised items you may require.
There are various supermarkets across the country, such as
ASDA, Sainsburys, Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl, Aldi etc... These shops all sell
groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen goods and alcohol. Most places
sell cigarettes and have Pay Points for topping up your mobile phone, paying
bills or transferring money.

18. Accommodation . . .
TRG will not provide you with accommodation for when you arrive in the UK. You
must arrange this yourself.
www.google.com is a very helpful website, on which you can search for Landlords
in the area within the UK to which you intend to relocate.
Your TRG representative may be able to provide you with details of companies
which may be able to help you source accommodation within the UK, however
these companies are not representatives of TRG, and you must deal with them
directly and not through TRG.
