How to use this list
Print it, and tick each line before a new member of staff starts. If any line is missing, do not proceed until it is done. Every item is here because someone, somewhere, skipped it.
Identity
- Original CNIC seen — not a photocopy, not a photo on a phone.
- Photocopy of both sides of the CNIC kept on file.
- The face matches, and the date of birth confirms they are an adult.
- Current address and permanent address both recorded.
Checks
- Police verification submitted, with the receipt or reference retained.
- At least two previous households called by phone — not messaged.
- Reason for leaving each previous job asked, and the answers match.
Contacts
- An emergency contact recorded: name, relationship and phone number.
- The agency’s contact details, if hiring through one.
The agreement
- A written agreement, signed by both of you.
- Duties, working hours and the day off stated clearly.
- Salary and the date it is paid each month.
- Notice period on both sides.
- The replacement policy, in writing, if hiring through an agency.
Hiring through PMS
When you hire through PMS, the identity and checks sections are done before you meet anyone: every CNIC is checked against the original, police verification is submitted before introduction, and previous households are called. We provide the written agreement and put the 24-hour replacement guarantee in it. The questions on this list are still worth asking — they are your household, and your decision.
