So, how do you go from working permanently for your company, working on a temporary basis or being paid via PAYE by your recruitment agency to being employed by Originem and claiming expenses? Here’s a step-by-step rundown of how the process works:

Step 1:
First off, simply call or email us at Originem to join. We’ll take you through a calculation of your take home pay, the usual eligibility to work checks and then ask you to sign a contract of employment with Originem and accept the details of the assignment you’re working on.
Step 2:
As soon as that assignment goes live, you’re automatically covered by our professional insurance package to the value of a cool £15m.
Step 3:
We’ll then contact you by phone to welcome you onboard and then follow up with a Welcome Pack to explain your responsibilities, introduce our online portal and tell you the all-important details of how you’ll get paid.
Step 4:
Once you’re given access to our user-friendly online portal, you can do everything from download payslips to claim expenses. This is a great piece of software that ensures all relevant data is captured and that your payments can be made quickly, efficiently, correctly and on time.
Step 5:
You submit your timesheet to your recruitment agency and the agency sends payment to Originem. We can also issue an invoice at this stage if required.
Step 6:
You then submit an expense claim to Originem via the online portal.
Step 7:
We calculate your basic pay, commission, employer’s and employee’s national insurance contributions and holiday pay using our state-of-the-art payroll software. Tax is offset against any expenses claimed and you are paid.
Step 8:
You download your payslip from our online portal – and are delighted with the hike in your take home pay!
