Frequently asked questions
What does setting up a new starter involve?
Collecting the correct starter information (P45 or starter checklist), assigning the right tax code, setting up the employee record in the payroll system, and running their first payslip. The Deskless Phoenix will cover this in a realistic small-employer context.
What's the most common mistake with new starters?
Using the wrong tax code — particularly getting the emergency code wrong or missing the information from a P45. It's a small error with knock-on consequences, which is exactly why practising it before the first real employer matters.
