The Induction Process

Our induction process is simple. We collect all the necessary documents to ensure you are fully set-up on our system to receive payments.

Q: What is the induction process?
A: During the induction process we will ensure all the following documents are received and processed as necessary;

1. Contract of Employment – Agreed by you online*.
2. Fully countersigned Agency contract – Signed online* by all parties.
3. Eligibility documents and proof of address – Supplied by fax or e-mail.
4. Original P45 supplied by post. If you do not have a P45 please complete a P46 online by clicking here
* All online signing of agreements takes place in the Crystal Secure Document Exchange.

Q: Why do I need a P46?
A: You’ll only need to complete a P46 if you don’t have a P45 from your previous employer. If you don’t have a P45, your P46 can be completed on our Secure Document exchange by clicking here, this is the most secure way of transferring the data to us and ensures swift delivery. However, you can print the form below, fill in the details and post is back to Crystal.
