To set up an employer account on UKCIL you first need to find out if the employer has a managed bank account (MBA) which the payment will be made from.
If the employer does have an MBA then you need to log in to UKCIL as a CIL user, click on "Create New Employer" - which can be found on the Employers List Page - or select the employer from the list. Then complete the information for the employer. Once completed, the MBA team will be sent an invoice to settle on behalf of the employer.
If the employer does not have an MBA and is paying directly themselves, create a new employer from the Sign-Up page - or alternatively, log in as the employer if they already have an account.
At the payment method screen, you will be presented with two choices, either a bank transfer or a card payment:
With “bank transfer”: Select "offline payment" and an invoice will be sent to the employer. The employer will be able to access UKCIL as soon as they have settled the invoice themselves.
With “card payment”: Select the funding authority, and then "pay via card". You will need to ask the employer to input their details.
