Compliance with Legislation
Bournemouth University has a duty of care to ensure that opportunities promoted to graduates and students do not disadvantage,endanger or discriminate (under current legislation) against them in any way. This includes information, opportunities or working practices that contravene current equal opportunities and employment legislation relating to disability, sex, race, religion & belief, sexual orientation, and age. Staff also have a duty of care to the University and will not (through contact with organisations) compromise in any way the good name of the University.
Jobs
It is the employer’s responsibility to undertake pre-employment checks prior to appointment. Bournemouth University provides an advertising service only and cannot be deemed to have made recommendations for candidates. Bournemouth University assumes that you as an employer: have full employers’ liability cover in place; will issue a contract of employment specifying the tasks to be undertaken, hours of work, salary - which must pay at least the National Minimum wage and holiday entitlement; and will provide a full induction including health and safety training.
National Insurance
A percentage of Bournemouth University students are from outside the UK and may not have a National Insurance(NI) number.You can employ an international student without an NI number, but you must supply the student with proof that you have offered them work or that they have started working for you, as they will require this proof to obtain a NI number from a local JobcentrePlus by calling 0345 600 0643
Please note a small minority of International students do not have the right to work in the UK. If a student is unsure, please refer them to AskBU@bournemouth.ac.uk or telephone 01202 969696
If as an employer you are unsure of the process you can contact the home office help line which can be found here.
