Notes | All date fields in the HESA Staff record must be completed using the ISO8601 format of YYYY-MM-DD. It is expected that higher education providers (HEPs) will be able to provide a date of birth, based on the existence of a contract of employment between the HEP and the individual and/or the liability of the HEP to pay Class 1 National Insurance contributions for that individual. Consequently there is no option of a default date of birth not known. |
