What is the Key Information Document (KID)?
A Key Information Document (KID) is a summary that agencies must provide to all new workers before their first assignment.
The Key Information Document (KID) provides an overview of how your pay is calculated, including examples of deductions such as tax and National Insurance, and details about who pays you (e.g., the agency or an umbrella company). Its purpose is to improve transparency and help you understand your pay structure.
Please note: the figures shown in the KID for Step Teachers/Class Act Teaching Services - such as the example rate of £100 - are illustrative only. They are not a reflection of the actual pay you will receive on assignment with Step Teachers.
FAQs about the Key Information Document (KID)
- Is the pay rate shown in the KID what I will actually earn?
No, the pay rate in the KID is only an example to illustrate how deductions work. Your actual pay will be agreed separately for each assignment. - Why does the KID include tax and other deductions?
To show how typical deductions (like tax and National Insurance) might affect your take-home pay, helping you understand the process. - Do I need to sign the KID?
No signature is required, but you should read and understand it before completing your application form with Step Teachers/Class Act Teaching Services. - Will I receive a new KID for every assignment?
No, the KID does not need to be reissued unless there is a significant change to the information. For example, the business responsible for paying you changes or the payment frequency changes. In these circumstances, you will receive a revised KID to reflect the changes. - Who can I contact if I have questions about my KID?
