With many students about to commence their first steps into the workplace, we have some top tips to assist their transition
1. Read your employment contract – it may seem complicated and legal but this document contains some essential information about what to expect from your employer and any restrictions that may be placed on you
2. Make sense of payslips – they will include your payroll number, gross income and net pay it’s important to get to grips after deductions how much income will be left each month
3. Make the most of pensions – an auto-enrolment means currently employers are required to make a 3% minimum contribution with employees required to pay 5% to bring the total pension contribution to 8%
4. Look into workplace benefits – these can be anything from health and fitness, e.g. discounted gym memberships, health and fitness apps and devices, or discounts on shopping, support with childcare and employee assistance programmes

Wishing you good luck from Atoll HR!
