Employment contracts are generated within 2 working days of the candidate being fully approved via the offer authorisation chain.

To avoid any delays, you must ensure the offer is correct and approved as quickly as possible to enable the HR Team to process the employment contract.

The employment contract is issued to the new starter within 2 working days of the eArcu offer being fully approved via the offer authorisation chain. There is no approvals required for the employment contract as the details used to populate the contract is from the approved offer.

Once the employment contract is generated it is issued directly to the candidate via email (using the same email from the application process). The candidate will also receive an SMS with confirmation that their job offer and employment contract is in their emails and requires action.

When the contract is generated and issued to the candidate, at the same time the Onboarding forms are also issued. The candidate receives this via email, they simply click a link within their offer email and log into eArcu using the same details from their application process. Once the candidate is logged in they are then able to sign and accept their Terms and Conditions and continue to complete their Onboarding forms.

Employee numbers can only be generated when the candidate has completed all steps through the onboarding process, which are as follows:

  1. Candidates offer being approved
  2. Candidate signing their contract & completing their onboarding forms
  3. All compliance checks are completed, this includes:
  • Right to Work carried out either through IDVT or uploaded onto the Mitie RTW app by Manager
  • Pre-Employment Vetting check is carried out and confirmed as dispatched
  • Start Date confirmed if original date was in the past.
  • Occupational Health questionnaire is completed if a mandatory for our Healthcare contracts

For more information, please see section ‘Right to Work and Vetting Compliance’ below.

Workplace+ (WP+) numbers are triggered following creation of the primary employee record in People Hub and SAP. The WP+ number is typically created the following working day after the employee number is issued. For further support the WP+ team can be contacted at [email protected].

No, this will not feed through to Fleet. Mitie vans still need to be requested through the current method by the Line Manager once an employee ID has been generated and issued.

[email protected]

No, this is not possible as Fleet require cars to be returned first so they can do their own departmental checks and then assign out the car when appropriate. Vehicle assignment and Fleet Management is not a People Support administered process therefore it is suggested to contact Fleet should you have any issues with vehicle assignment processes.

Laptops and mobile devices needs are different for each site and role. Therefore, the Line Manager will still need to request these from IT once the candidate has been assigned an Employee ID and Mitie email address. You will be notified via eArcu notifications once you are able to request these via the IT Service Desk.

No, this is not possible, the benefits/perks must meet the standards set out in the Mitie Career Band Framework (CBF). For further information you can contact your People Business Partner for advice.

The job offer will expire at 3 weeks, the Hiring manager will be notified by eArcu’s automated notifications as per the stage the candidate is currently at.

Yes, it is possible for the candidate’s offer to be reset, this is providing we have confirmed with the Hiring Manager the offer is still required and the offer has not changed. This can be requested via the eArcu timeline function ensuring the Onboarding Team is tagged using the ‘@’ symbol.

These notifications are automated and will be sent out when new statuses are triggered at certain points. Hiring Managers and the candidate will be notified each time action is required or an action has been completed. Alternatively, hiring managers can log into eArcu and see the status of Onboarding. Where an offer expires this a system automated status change. To reactivate an offer you will need to contact Mitie Resourcing or interact via the eArcu timeline function using the ‘@’ symbol to notify the Onboarding team they require support.

The candidate will now need to do their onboarding through the new process. You can contact the Resourcing Team who will help to support you on this and getting the vacancy set up on eArcu.

Right to Work and Vetting Compliance

In order to submit documents, all hiring managers should use the Mitie Right to Work app, an easy to use mobile application which takes you step by step through the process.

The Mitie RTW app can be downloaded by searching ‘Mitie Right to Work’ in your phone’s app store. This app is supported on Android and iOS.

For support with account creation, the RTW Compliance Team can be contacted through AskHR which can be accessed from your People Hub homepage. Alternatively you can call the team on 0330 123 4005 option 3, then 2.

As Right to Work must be completed face to face and before the individual commences work with Mitie, we advise all hiring managers to complete the check during the interview process by asking the prospective employee to bring their documents with them to interview. By processing the check on the Right to Work app at this stage, should you wish to commence the hiring process, the check will be ready for the onboarding team to pick up and minimise any delays.

The app is free to download from the app store and is approved for download by IT across all the devices. Secure device users have had the app installed by IT already. If the app is not present on a secure device, please contact IT to install.

Mitie IT can be contact via multiple channels such as via phone – 0141 278 5555, Mitie IT Service Desk or Microsoft Teams Chat ‘Mitie IT Service Desk Chat’ by clicking the icon on your Teams in the top left-hand corner.

If you continue to have issues following contacting IT, please contact the Right to Work Compliance Team via AskHR for further support.

Right to Work Documents – British and Irish:
• British Passport
• British Birth Certificate with proof of National Insurance (NI).
• Irish Passport
• Certificate of Registration/Naturalisation & National Insurance (NI).

More information can be found on the government website: GOV Right to Work Checklist

Right to Work Documents – Foreign Nationals:
• Share Code provided by individual (mixture of 9 letters/digits)

Whilst this is not a Right to Work requirement, hiring managers are encouraged to include this within the Mitie Right to Work app submission to assist with vetting and other departmental requirements.

We are obliged under the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, to ensure that all employees are eligible to work in the UK. If these checks are not carried out, this could lead to Mitie receiving a maximum penalty fines of £45,000 or a possible prison sentence if found guilty of knowingly employing or having reasonable belief that someone did not have the right to work in the UK. The fines can be imposed for each illegal worker identified and carry huge risk to Mitie not only financially but reputationally.

If you have reason to believe that the documents produced are fraudulent, you should contact and seek advice from the Right to Work Compliance Team immediately on 0330 123 4005 option 3, option 2 before taking any further action.

In first instance, we would suggest ensuring the app submission and the new hire onboarding has been completed in the same full name. For example, if one of the processes is being completed in a maiden name and one in a married name they will not be easily linked and located therefore could be missed.
If you have checked the above and are still facing issues, we would advise to call the RTW Compliance Team on 0330 123 4005 option 3, then 2 for them to check the submission and support troubleshooting.
The RTW Compliance Team can also be contacted through AskHR which can be accessed from your People Hub homepage.

There are multiple reasons why a check may be rejected, these include document images not being readable due to a camera flash or quality, a check not being completed face to face, the incorrect documents or sharecode details being submitted.
To find out specific reasons for your rejected check, you can login to your R2W app and view the notes or get in contact with the Right to Work Compliance Team on 0330 123 4005 option 3, then 2.

We have a user guide which can be access via the link below however alternatively you can contact the Right to Work Compliance Team on 0330 123 4005 option 3, then 2 or raise an AskHR ticket via your People Hub homepage for support.

It is important to understand the costs associated with Sponsorship, as the process includes several factors and elements which could amount to values up to £15,000 per individual.

For more detailed updates on the candidates vetting please liaise directly with Mitie Vetting.

The Vetting team will check the vacancy, after the offer has been approved by the HR Team, to ensure the correct Vetting package was selected for the site and the role. For all Vetting queries please contact the team on:

Processing an Employee Change

People Hub has a self-service functionality which enables managers to amend a colleague’s hierarchy.

For more information on how to self-service line manager changes, a short tutorial video is available here and a ‘How To Guide’ is also accessible below.

Making Line Manager Changes in People Hub

For hierarchy changes of 10 or more, a CAF can be completed (using tab Org Structure Update) and attached to an AskHR ticket for People Support to process.

Colleague Amendment Form (CAF)

Changes to terms and conditions will either be processed via eArcu or through a colleague amendment form (CAF) depending on the change required.

The CAF can be found on the IMS and has a support and guidance including a ‘Change Matrix’ tab which will advise you on whether a CAF is required or the change needs to be processed via eArcu.

Further guidance can be found on our People Hub knowledge base which can be found by logging in to your People Hub homepage and selecting tile ‘Help Guides’.

Once a CAF is completed and the relevant approvals are gathered, an AskHR ticket should be raised attaching both elements.

Approvals for changes being made via eArcu, are built into the hierarchy therefore a notification will go directly to the assigned approvers.

For changes being made via the CAF, you will need to gain the approval and attach it to the AskHR ticket along with the form. The CAF form has a guidance tab ‘Approval Matrix’ to support you with who this will need to be from.
