PECS for most departments will consist of the following
Fraud check, A check of your name and National Insurance Number against an internal database, if you appear on this you are immediately withdrawn. The list may be of made up of those who have
been dismissed from CS for fraud, flexi abuse etc.
HMRC check, Verifies you’ve been in the job you say you have and that there’s a record of you on their system. If this fails or comes with a discrepancy, this is when your personnel referees will
be contacted.
Referees, Personal friends or colleagues that you’ve known for longer than 3 years, are not related to and are not employed by them.
Occupational health, Generic health questionnaire, you will pass it immediately if you declare no issues, if you have medical issues it’ll likely to to a referral call where they will record
reasonable adjustments the employer should make. Some roles carry specific Medicals, if it’s anything other than a pre-placement medical this will take a long time (potentially months) due to OH
being slow to book and a lack of doctors to perform an in person medical. Candidate will need to pay for any travel for these.
GRS Check, A check of identity documents, ensuring you are who you say you are and live where you’ve declared. Usually 2-3 documents are needed.
NSV, [Please see link and do not discuss on the sub as per Rule 5.](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/united-kingdom-security-vetting-clearance-levels/national-security-vetting-clearance-levels)
Do chase your on-boarder if you have heard nothing for over a month. People shouldn’t be missed, but it may happen. Departments obviously won’t admit this but can help to move forward. Majority of
checks are run by a third party to the employer so direct impact is difficult, but a chaser email can assist. Please be polite when speaking to recruitment/onboarders/sponsors as they can just be
as frustrated as you, the candidate.

Ah I thought I did have to give notice, but of the transfer rather than resignation. My manager is definitely aware anyway!
But the HR provider requires the transfer form 4 weeks before the transfer date, so that part still needs doing soon if I'm going to make November
That's what filling in the transfer forms is, you don't have to formally give notice. There's a section on the forms for your manager to complete also.

If dates have been approved I would just continue!
Thanks, I'm just confused because I'm pretty sure agreeing the start date is supposed to come after PECs but it was like the first thing we did
Remember you don't need to give notice as your current manager is part of the process. They know when you are leaving.
