• where a person is an individual use their full names, include their forenames and last name, do not include their title
• where the person is a registered company use the company바카라 사이트™s registered name, (see DANSP28400 for information about checking a company바카라 사이트™s registered name)
• where an employee is named to avoid confusion, it may be necessary to include their National Insurance number or some other reference used by the employer, for example, the employee바카라 사이트™s works number
• if decisions are needed for more than one employee, issue a separate decision for each employee, do not name more than one employee in each decision
