They carry an identity card and if they are not known to you (it is possible they may visit from another Compliance Office in the country) you should ask to see this before allowing them to look at any records and information you might hold.

An EBS user role ‘EBS Compliance’ is available for Employer Compliance staff (specifically RIATs). This enables access to Function EMPLOYMENT BASIS SELECTION, which allows staff to

• Request between one and seven printed lists, which display for an employer record

• Employees who for the period(s) selected were authorised to make Student and/or Postgraduate Loan repayments through their salary
