NIN (National Insurance Number)
|
|
| I've blogged about this, but some people just don't listen! LOL! (If you don't know, it's like the SSN in the States.)
A new teacher has arrived from the States, and is, 4 weeks into the school year, having a of her pay taken lmost three-fourths of her pay taken out in tax because SHE DIDN'T DO THE NIN FORM.
I have a link about it on my blog, I've preached about it . . . (If you're with BW, they'll tell you in the welcome packet how to get the form. Take out that little mobile phone they put in the packet, call the number, and ask for the form. It'll come the next day or so. You take the form to the school office, they fill in and sign part D (takes all of 2 minutes), and YOU (or they) put it in the post. Presto! You'll get an NIN. And you get 'normal tax' (no emergency rate). Easy.)
I told the new teacher when she arrived (4 weeks before school started) to do it, but I think she did't believe me. And she's still telling me her agency didn't do it! Folks, it's our task. We have to do it ourselves. (I'll try not to say, 'Should've had BW!' That could be a great slogan on the site -- 'You should've had Bluewave!' BW, I won't charge you for that. Uncopyrighted! It's all yours!)
So, if you like (or need) money every month, do the NIN the day you start work (sooner if your school office is open).
The few of us who write here/blog/both for new teachers are not just doing it because there's nothing else to do (au contraire!) -- we're doing it to help new teachers coming in. We do know of what we speak.
