Useful Links for Employers of EU Workers

From the 1st May 2004, most nationals of the new EU member states (except Cyprus and Malta) who wish to work for more than one month for an employer in the UK need to register under the Worker Registration Scheme and they must also obtain a National Insurance Number.

• For information about the Worker Registration Scheme please visit the Home Office's Worker Registration website.
• For information on National Insurance Numbers and how a worker should apply please visit the Department for Work and Pensions website.
• For information from the Inland Revenue regarding taxation, National Insurance Contributions, the National Minimum Wage, tax credits and child benefit, please contact your local office (the number will be in your telephone directory) or visit HM Revenue and Customs main website.
• For information from Learn Direct, an organisation that can provide free advice on English language learning in your area, please call 0800 100900 or visit the Learn Direct website.
