Self onboarding5:48

"What do I do with the log in invite email, and what's onboarding?"

When you're invited to join a company as a new employee, you'll get an email inviting you to create an account on 1st Money.

To accept an invite to create an account on 1st Money, and to do your self onboarding:

  1. First, open the invite email and make sure it's from a company that you're expecting an invite from.
  2. Then when you're ready, tap: Accept invite
  3. If your org's prepared an employment agreement for you to sign, you'll be shown that first.
  4. Read through the agreement.
  5. Once you've scrolled to the bottom, Accept and Decline becomes active.
  6. If you don't want to accept the agreement, you can tap Decline, and type in your reason.
  7. If you then tap Continue with decline, the person who invited you gets an email with the reason you declined.
  8. Otherwise, if you accept the agreement, tap Accept, and then draw in your signature.
  9. And tap I accept & electronically sign, and you'll be emailed a copy of the agreement.
  10. You'll now be shown any other onboarding docs that've been prepared for you.
  11. There may be multiple onboarding docs that require a signature. If so, you may prefer to turn on: Turn on one-tap signing, before you tap: I accept & electronically sign
  12. Some onboarding docs don't require a signature, once you scroll to the bottom of the doc, Got it becomes active.
  13. Once you tap Got it, you'll again be emailed a copy.
  14. Once you've finished all the onboarding docs, you can now confirm your name's correct, and take a portrait photo.
  15. It's highly recommended to add a photo, as it helps other people in your org put a face to your name.
  16. When you're ready, tap Take photo, then tap: Next
  17. Tap Take again until you're happy with it.
  18. Once you're ready, tap: Next
  19. Then tap: Yes ... I'm happy
  20. You'll now see info about you that's been entered by the person who invited you.
  21. If you need to correct any of it, now's the time. Then tap: Next
  22. You'll now see your home address. If anything's wrong, correct it now. Then tap: Next
  23. Next, if your pay rate's been set, you'll be asked to enter your bank account for payday payments to be paid into. It's important you get it right.
  24. Type in the details of your bank account, then tap: Next
  25. You'll now see that you're almost at 100% for your self onboarding.
  26. All that's left is to tap: Set password
  27. Read the password instructions, type in your new password, and tap: Save new password
  28. You're now finished, and you'll see your self onboarding's at 100%.
  29. And if you tap it, you'll see a list of all your self onboarding that you've completed.
  30. To see a copy of the onboarding docs you're agreed to, scroll down, and tap on them.
  31. And finally, if you ever want to jump back to any step, tap any of the grey circles (at the top).

Keep in mind that:

  • If you close your self onboarding, everything's still saved, and you can return and continue onboarding again at any time.

To see your "Self onboarding" list and continue onboarding:

  1. First, open yourself on: MenuMe
  2. Then while on the default "Person" tab, scroll down to: "Self onboarding"
  3. The percentage (at the top) shows you how complete the onboarding is.
  4. To continue onboarding, tap the blue circle: (at the top)
  5. Or scroll down to the bottom of the onboarding list, and tap: Continue onboarding
  6. And the onboarding automatically works out what info's needed next, and takes you right there.
  7. Fill in the missing info.
  8. Tap Next again until everything's correct and 100%. Then tap: Close
  9. Once your onboarding's 100% complete, your "Self onboarding" row's automatically collapsed. Tap the row to expand it, and show your full self onboarding list.
  10. And finally, when you scroll below your "Self onboarding" list you'll see the "Admin onboarding" list. That list shows you all the onboarding steps that your admin's responsible for entering about your employment.

You may notice:

  • That the onboarding list for some people is different to others.
  • Different employment types, for example contractors, ask you for different kinds of info.
  • Remember that your goal is to hit 100% onboarded.

To learn more:

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about creating an account on 1st Money, and doing your self onboarding!

Confirming "Right to work"5:58

"How do I confirm a person's "Right to work"?"

Shortly after inviting a person to join, you may be asked to confirm that person's "Right to work" in the UK. Which can be done through either uploading their passport, their birth certificate, or by entering a "Right to work" share code.

To confirm a person's "Right to work" through their passport:

  1. First, tap: MenuPeopleInvite a person
  2. Once it's open, tap Add a new person, and enter the person's email and tap: Invite
  3. Next, fill in the person's name, and tap: Next
  4. Because you're confirming "Right to work" through their passport, tap: Yes
  5. Type in their passport number.
  6. And take a photo, or upload an image of their passport's details page.
  7. Tap Next, then tap: Sign
  8. Then tap Next, and you're now all finished with confirming the person's: "Right to work"
  9. And finally, to see the person's "Right to work" confirmation using a passport, go to: SettingsRight to work

Keep in mind that:

  • Only British or Ireland passports can be used for UK: "Right to work"
  • However, there's no problem if you upload an expired passport.

To verify a person's "Right to work" through their birth certificate:

  1. First, tap: MenuPeopleInvite a person
  2. Once it's open, tap Add a new person, and enter the person's email and tap: Invite
  3. Next, fill in the person's name, and tap: Next
  4. Because you're confirming "Right to work" through their birth certificate, tap No, then: Yes
  5. Then take a photo, or upload an image of their birth certificate.
  6. Next, take a photo, or upload an image of their official letter.
  7. Tap Next, then tap: Sign
  8. Then tap Next, and you're now all finished with confirming the person's: "Right to work"
  9. And finally, to see the person's "Right to work" confirmation using a birth certificate, go to: SettingsRight to work

Bear in mind that:

  • Only UK, Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man birth certificates can be used for UK: "Right to work"
  • However, there's no problem if you upload an adoption certificate.
  • The official letter can be any document from a government agency, or from the person's previous employer, that shows their name and National Insurance number.

To confirm a person's "Right to work" through a share code:

  1. First, tap: MenuPeopleInvite a person
  2. Once it's open, tap Add a new person, and enter the person's email and tap: Invite
  3. Next, fill in the person's name, and tap: Next
  4. Because you're confirming "Right to work" through a share code, tap No, then: No
  5. Type in the share code the person's sent to you by email.
  6. And enter their date of birth, then tap: Next
  7. Next, to go to the GOV.UK website and confirm their share code, tap: See "Right to work"
  8. The GOV.UK website asks you for the person's details. To copy and paste them, tap the copy buttons.
  9. Once you've logged in, find the person's share code "Reference number", and enter it.
  10. Next, look for the words "there's no limit", or the words "can work in the UK until", and enter those.
  11. Tap Next, then tap: Sign
  12. Then tap Next, and you're now all finished with confirming the person's: "Right to work"
  13. And finally, to see the person's "Right to work" confirmation using a share code, go to: SettingsRight to work

For advanced usage:

  • To see everyone's confirmations in one place, look for the "Right to work" column in the pay batch's "People" report.
  • From the "Right to work" column you can see, and update, anyone who's "Right to work" is missing or expired.

Also remember that:

  • It's the employer's responsibility to physically see a suitable passport, birth certificate, or share code.
  • And it's the employee's responsibility to have their "Right to work" share code sent to their employer, by email, when asked.
  • If the person's lost their passport or birth certificate, the person needs to apply for a replacement. Applying for a share code, as a UK citizen, won't work.
  • If the employee doesn't have a suitable passport or birth certificate, the employee must, themself, apply online for their share code.
  • The employee can find the apply page by searching Google for: "prove your right to work"

You may notice:

  • People who've got "Full org admin" permissions can confirm a person's "Right to work". Payroll permissions aren't required.
  • However, although share codes expire after 90 days, the employer's required to keep "a secure copy" of the online "Right to work" check for two years.
  • Look for the "Download PDF" link (at the bottom of the GOV.UK page) to download: "a secure copy"

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about confirming a person's "Right to work"!

Managing agreement docs2:54

"How do I manage signing all the agreement docs for a pay batch?"

Every once in a while you may want to check that everyone in a pay batch's agreement docs are all signed and up-to-date.

To check that a pay batch's agreement docs are all signed and up-to-date:

  1. First, select the pay batch on: MenuPay batches
  2. Then to go to the "People" report, tap: PayPeople
  3. The "People" report shows you a list of all the people in a pay batch.
  4. As you scroll across, you'll see the "Agreement" column which shows you the current agreement doc status for each of the pay batch's people.
  5. Understanding each agreement doc status:
    The different agreement doc status includes: Declined, Never sent, Awaiting response, Expired, New hire, and Accepted.
  6. When you tap any coloured status, you'll see even more details about that person's agreement doc.
  7. For example, if you tap the "Declined" status, you'll see the reason the person gave for declining.
  8. Getting everyone's agreements signed:
    Ideally, you'd like to have every agreement doc on to the green "Accepted" status.
  9. To change every agreement doc to the green "Accepted" status, tap your way through all the blue Get sigs buttons, one-by-one.
  10. And then on each one, tap Get agreement sigs, then Get signed, and then: I accept & electronically sign
  11. Then once you close it, you'll see the status of each person's agreement doc automatically update to: "Awaiting response"
  12. And if you tap that status, and scroll down, you'll see that your signature's been added to the doc.
  13. And that you're now waiting for the other person to add their signature.
  14. Continue to tap through all the blue Get sigs buttons until the agreement docs have all changed to: "Awaiting response"
  15. And finally, once you come back in a few days, you'll likely see all the rows change to the green "Accepted" status.

Keep in mind that:

  • Agreement docs are optional. It's ok to not use the agreement docs feature. Everything else still works fine.

You may notice:

  • That you can always change the selected agreement doc, and set the agreement start and end dates before sending any agreement doc.

To learn more:

  • About how it looks for the person to receive and sign their agreement doc, watch the video on: Agreement doc setup

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about managing and signing all of a pay batch's agreement docs!

Agreement doc3:36

"How do I send a person's agreement doc?"

The agreement doc, while optional, helps you to record, in writing, the terms of work between the company and the person.

To send an agreement doc to a person for signing:

  1. First, select the person who you're sending the agreement doc to, on: MenuPeople
  2. Then tap: DocsAgreement
  3. Selecting the agreement doc:
    Now select the agreement doc that you'd like the person to sign.
  4. To see a full copy of each agreement doc, tap the "View" button: (on the side of each doc)
  5. The preview shows you exactly how the text is customised for the person.
  6. Once you've decided one, tap it, to set it as the person's agreement doc.
  7. Now that you've selected an agreement doc, you'll see the agreement start and end date boxes appear.
  8. Setting the start date's required. Set it to the date you intend the agreement to start from.
  9. In most cases, you can tap: Set to today
  10. The agreement end date's optional. In most cases, you can leave it empty if you intend for the work agreement to continue indefinitely.
  11. However, if it's a fixed length contract, set the end date now, and 1st Money helps you to manage the expiry, and possible renewal.
  12. For now, you can see the agreement doc status is set to: "Agreement never sent"
  13. Sending the agreement doc:
    To send the agreement doc to the person, tap: Get agreement sigs
  14. Once it slides out on the right, you'll see a final preview of the agreement doc.
  15. All agreement docs need to be signed by both an admin (or manager), and also by the person themself.
  16. As you'll be signing, on behalf of the company, you may want to read through the doc before continuing.
  17. And to make any changes, tap: Show editor
  18. Then once you're ready, tap Get signed by, and then: I accept & electronically sign
  19. And now that it's been sent to the person as an email, tap: Close
  20. Seeing the agreement doc's status:
    You'll now see that the agreement doc's status has changed to: "Agreement awaiting response"
  21. To see a copy of the sent agreement doc, tap the "View" button: (at the end of the row)
  22. And you'll later see the doc's status change, once the person gets their agreement doc email, and signs the doc.
  23. But, for now, if you scroll to the bottom of the doc, you'll see that your signature's been added to the doc.
  24. And finally, once the person's signed their agreement doc, you'll see their signature there as well.

Keep in mind that:

  • Agreement docs are optional. It's OK to not use the feature. Everything else still works fine.

You may notice:

  • That many of a person's terms of work are already stored in 1st Money. For example, their pay, work hours, job title, etc.
  • Sending it out for signing, as an agreement doc, improves the chance that if anything's wrong with a person's terms of work, the errors are spotted.

To learn more:

  • About how it looks for the person to receive and sign their agreement doc, watch the video on: Agreement doc setup

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about sending a person's agreement doc!

Onboarding default rate time frame2:17

"How do I set the default rate time frame when onboarding a new hire?"

Each time you onboard a new hire, you'll be asked what time frame to set the new hire's rate to. For example, per year, per hour, etc. However, you can instead set a default once, and then never have to set it again.

To set a new hire's default rate time frame for a pay batch:

  1. First, select the pay batch on: MenuPay batches
  2. Then tap: HRDocs ... pay batch onboarding
  3. And scroll down to the "Onboarding defaults" heading.
  4. And select your preferred default rate time frame by changing: Default "Rate amount" time frame
  5. Then tap: Save
  6. Next, to see it in action by adding a new person, tap: MenuPeopleInvite a person
  7. Once it's open, tap Add a new person, enter the person's email, and tap: Invite
  8. Next, fill in the person's name, and then set the pay batch to the one you've set the default rate time frame for.
  9. Then tap: Next
  10. Normally, you'd fill in all the onboarding details, but for the example, skip your way through to the "Pay" settings page.
  11. And finally, you'll see it's correctly set the new hire's rate time frame for you. So now you only need to type in their rate.

Keep in mind that:

  • You're still welcome to change each new hire to a different rate time frame, one-by-one, as you add them.
  • Also, if you later change your mind, you can also change the default at any time.

Agreement doc setup6:28

"How do I setup an agreement doc?"

An agreement doc establishes the employment agreement between an employer and an employee. The agreement doc can also be a contractor agreement, a freelancing agreement, a casual services agreement, and more.

Whenever a person joins your org, as part of their onboarding, the person can be automatically shown an agreement doc for them to read and sign.

To set a pay batch's default agreement doc, and have a person sign their agreement doc:

  1. First, to set the pay batch's default agreement doc:
    Select the pay batch on: MenuPay batches
  2. Then tap: HRDocs ... pay batch onboarding
  3. And scroll down to the "Onboarding agreement" heading.
  4. And select which doc you'd like to be shown to all the people who join the pay batch, as their: Default agreement doc
  5. To see the contents of any doc, first select any doc, then tap the "View" button:
  6. You can also set a default number of months that the agreement doc automatically expires by.
  7. To have no expiry date, leave it as zero, and the agreement doc continues on indefinitely.
  8. Then once you've finished with the agreement doc settings, tap: Save
  9. To onboard a person, and see how the agreement doc looks:
    First, tap: MenuPeopleInvite a person
  10. Once it's open, tap Add a new person, and enter the person's email and tap: Invite
  11. Next, fill in the person's name, and then set the pay batch to the one you've set the default agreement doc for.
  12. Then tap: Next
  13. Normally, you'd fill in all the onboarding details, but for the example, skip your way through to the "Set agreement" page.
  14. You'll see that the onboarding settings has correctly set the: Agreement doc
  15. And it's defaulted the "Date agreement started" to today, and set the "Date agreement ended" to the number of expiry months you'd previously set.
  16. As the employer, you can still change any of the settings. For example, you could even tap Leave empty and there'd be no agreement doc for the person to sign.
  17. To send an agreement doc to the person:
    Tap Next, you'll see the agreement doc queued as the first doc to send the person, with their other onboarding docs below.
  18. To start the sending process, tap: Next
  19. Set the person's work location, then tap: Next
  20. Because there's multiple new docs, you may prefer to tap Turn on auto-send, and then: Start auto send
  21. And you may prefer to turn on: Turn on one-tap signing
  22. Sending an agreement doc to a person is a two part signing process. First, the employer signs the agreement. Then it's sent to the person for signing.
  23. Next, to sign on behalf of the employer, as the first part of the signing process, tap: I accept & electronically sign
  24. And now, once all the onboarding docs are sent for the person, tap: Close
  25. To see a copy of the sent agreement doc, scroll to the bottom of the "Admin onboarded" list.
  26. Then for the first of the "Sent" rows, tap the "View" button: (at the end of the row)
  27. And you'll later see the doc's status change, once the person gets their login invite email, and signs the doc.
  28. To see how it looks when the person receives the agreement doc:
    If the person's new, the person gets a login invite email, for them to tap: Accept invite
  29. The person's then shown their agreement doc, for them to read through carefully.
  30. And the person can't tap Accept until the document's scrolled all the way down.
  31. Near the bottom the person can see that you've already signed it.
  32. So all that's left is for them to tap Decline, or: Accept
  33. Then once the person's tapped Accept, because it's their first time to sign anything in 1st Money, their signature needs to be added.
  34. And then tap: I accept & electronically sign
  35. One-by-one, the person's taken through all their onboarding docs.
  36. The person may also prefer to turn on: Turn on one-tap signing
  37. Once the person's read all their onboarding docs, and tapped Accept (at the bottom of each), the person can now access 1st Money.
  38. And finally, once inside 1st Money, the person can finish the rest of their set up, like taking their portrait photo.

Keep in mind that:

  • For every doc the person accepts and signs, an email's sent to them with a PDF attachment of their signed doc.
  • A copy's also stored in: "Docs history"

To learn more:

  • About tracking which of your people have an up-to-date and signed agreement doc, watch the video on: Managing agreement docs
  • To learn more about seeing all of a person's signed agreement docs, watch the video on: Docs history

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about having a person sign their agreement doc!

Starting declaration3:19

"What's the starting declaration for, and which one do I select?"

When you newly hire a new person who's not got a P45, HMRC requires that you make a "Starting declaration" about that person's situation.

To set a person's "Starting declaration" during onboarding, when a person doesn't have a P45:

  1. First, tap: MenuPeopleInvite a person
  2. Once it's open, tap Add a new person, and enter the person's email and tap: Invite
  3. Next, fill in the person's name, and then tap: Next
  4. Then when asked about their P45, tap: No
  5. Normally, you'd fill in all the onboarding details, but for the example, skip your way through to the "Pay" settings page.
  6. Then set the person's pay rate, and tap: Next
  7. Next, because you said "No" to the P45, you'll be asked to select the person's: Starting declaration (if no P45)
  8. In most cases, you'll select the first option.
  9. The first option is for when it's their first and only job so far in the tax year.
  10. The second option is for when the person's had another job in the tax year, but don't have their P45. For example, if the person's lost their P45.
  11. The third option is for when the person's working another job, or have a pension, and don't have their P45.
  12. Read through the notes and decide which is best.
  13. Then once you've selected one, you'll see the person's Tax code is automatically filled in. It's filled in with a "best guess" tax code, according to rules set by HMRC.
  14. And finally, once you're ready, tap Next and continue with onboarding, as usual.

Keep in mind that:

  • In all cases where a person does have their tax code from their previous job, leave the "Starting declaration" empty. And type in the tax code directly.
  • If the person was issued a P45 from their previous employer, and has since lost their P45, then it's fine to still set their "Starting declaration", and go from there.
  • In some cases, including where the person never had a P45, or the person lost their P45, the "best guess" tax code may need changing. If so, HMRC automatically does the update.
  • If HMRC's systems detect a more suitable tax code, an "HMRC notice" is automatically issued and the person's tax code is automatically updated.
  • Both you, and the person, get an email if the tax code is ever updated through an: "HMRC notice"

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about setting a person's starting declaration during onboarding, when a person doesn't have a P45!

  21. And then when you tap one, you'll see that the doc's status is still "Doc waiting for signing" by the person.
  22. And finally, the next time the person uses 1st Money, the person's automatically prompted to read and sign their new onboarding docs.

  • Some docs require the person to add their signature, while other docs require the person to read it, and then mark it as: "Got it"
  • Also, as soon as you've added the job grade's onboarding docs, the docs are then queued to be seen.
  • Including by every person that's already assigned the job grade.
