Hoping this isn’t the information document that was promised but I think it may be. Email received with location and time for start date. All information re pension and travel and anything else...it’s on the intranet
Lol. I’m going to do same. Week ticket and then hope gets sorted. Will post when receive the information sheet. If not, see you somewhere at some point on Monday
Hi all, hoping the information will be on the doormat very soon (fingers crossed).
Does anyone know what to do about season tickets? Heard loan will come in first pay so potentially a months travel costs initially. Not sure if the ticket can be bought on credit card and then get the loan back...
The envelope that says is pre paid is not just in case people dont check. I almost didnt!
Also, the pension leaflet sent out is out of date from June 2015 and they are accepting pension transfers.
9-4 sounds good to me!!
Be good to start and actually get confirmation of exact nature of the role and likely hours/shifts. It appears overtime will be paid. Not much in contract. Seems a week before starting a bit more information to come. V much a leap of faith at moment.
Looking...
Thank you for the information. Its reassuring to know its just a HR issue and the training is more focused. What are the training hours? Wasnt sure if 8-4 or 9-5 etc. They mentioned shift patterns at all either?
Hope its going well for you and the other TM. See you in a few weeks
Billyboy, sorry to hear that but I understand. Best of luck with whatever you decide upon next.
I called re contract and was told at some point in September it will be sent out to everyone at the same time and invitation to sign will be a week before training.
Up to now all we know is...
Had an email with same information on re Paddington and Whitechapel as base locations. Training office hours but flexible etc. Seems everyone asking for details. Await medical. No more information or contract signing dates. Not much time left for notice periods.
Seems someone has been asked to trawl through the emails today and answer as best they can. So far they have said Romford has no parking. Awaiting confirmation re satellite stations or if permanently based at Romford.
Billlyboy same here. Notice not going in yet. They just seem to be content to allow people to remain uninformed. Some said Romford training only. Another said it will be permanent posting. Another said it may not even be the full 6 months at Romford. These are important details.
I've got medical in August. Yeah seem to be cutting it fine. Romford will be tough commute and not been the smoothest process since job offers were sent out. Hopefully questions will be answered soon. Not sure what they will do if some people decline the role as a result of one or more answers...
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
