Uniform, when can I order Induction tomoz

Post by Si9975 »

Hello, I have my induction tomorrow. I only recieved my contract today. Just double checking what will I need to take to the induction? And when can I order my uniform ? As now I have my pay roll number I wondered is it possible to order before my first day of work on Wednesday ?

Thanks

I had my induction yesterday, phoned today and still no trace of me on the system. They said try again tomorrow, Ill let you know if I have any luck. First day today, asking people to sign for Special Deliveries in my own clothes felt a bit weird.

I wasn't out alone, the training guy was off and I was out with a young lad who just wanted to finish early... he basically just sent me off on my own with the PDA into the streets that had the most parcels. Thankfully the person training me this week has been excellent :Very Happy

There is a guy in my office who has been there 3 weeks and is still waiting for his uniform, I'm just lucky that I have all my own weatherproof gear. I still ended up on an emergency tax code despite returning all the documents the same day I received them, they're really not that efficient :confused

there is no such thing as emergency tax code anymore you will get taxed at 20% plus NI if you havent used your tax allowance for the year you will get a tax rebate
