Top Tips on using the Statutory Registered Professionals Policy...

1. Newly qualified persons awaiting registration may be initially employed in an appropriate non-registered post, and paid accordingly, until proof of registration is submitted and confirmed.

2. Managers are responsible for verifying registrations for new staff and for maintaining an accurate record of current registration expiry dates for all their statutory registered employees.

3. Managers are responsible for advising all their employees, in writing, that their registration is due to expire within the period under review. This applies to employees at work or absent on leave.
