New Starters
Where new starters have been issued with a contract of employment and/or have agreed a start date, these will be honoured. Recruiting managers will be contacted regarding new starters that do not meet this criteria and therefore the processing of their employment will be paused. Recruitingmanagers will be asked to notify these prospective colleagues about the pausing of the recruitment process.
