Checking N.I contributions

wonderring

I have just filled in an application form and on it it said that they would check the N.I contributions, did I agree with that. Of course I had to agree but I am wondering how do they check that and why do they want to check it?

What were you applying for? A job? Seems very strange.

Application form for what?
Employers can't just "check NI contributions".

It;s an application form for Toys r Us.

As part of the normal recruitment process Toys R Us undertakes checks on credit references, National Insurance Contributions and electoral roll details. Please confirm your agreement to this process.



I spoke to someone today and he said that yes any company could check the National insurance contribution of someone if they have your national insurance number.
