Hi,

Got my accreditation pass, uniform and completed my PSA - bagger, screener, searcher and loader training at London, Statford - did this on the weekend - 7th & 8th July.

Does anyonone know how to collect your payroll number and time card? I think the payroll number and time card are the most imporant things as it allows you to sign in and out, which must be done in order to get payed.

Other than that, have not heard anything about work and shifts ect, any venues I might be able to work at and accomodation.

Seems ridiclous that G4S are leaving everything this late, did a little bit of research online earlier and alot of newspapers are now highlighting the point that the olympics is lacking secuirty - out of the 13,500 potential security employees - 9,000 still have to be accredited! 9,000 people to be accredited in three weeks...good luck.

All I need is uniform, you?

CHecked my ess today, showing shifts down for days i told them i cant work? They have given me 6 days of 12.30 hour shifts then 3 days off then another 6 days. Cant work 4 of those days and now i have no way of contacting anyone about it because they refuse to give the scheduling teams number out. Oh and to top that off, the venue is a 3 hours train journey from where i live, they told me they would be puttting me up in a hotel and paying for it all and would receive an email. Have i received one? Of course not.

Is it normal to only receive one of them? We felt the role specific ones later right? Because I have been given no details about venue yet

Hi

I wanted to ask about the ess system you mentioned. Where do you get your username and password to login in?

Kind regards

Im trying to get this atm too

Accreditation and uniform Then i'm all good

Yah.. Simply take this as a another round of vetting process. Upgrade card will be given during your actual work assignment. However you require both of them during your actual work time. Gd luck.

You will be instructed to sign in to ESS site once you receive contract from G4S. Mean time you will also receive your pay roll number as well.

Whats your current role?

ahh ok thank you

Has anyone done the guard training here yet?

Guard Team Member (Patrol, Perimeter & Asset Protection-BOH)

Just wondered what you actually do, got my training tomorrow.

Yes. you don't do much, lol.
you go in there, get registered, sit down and listen to the trainers give you an introduction about the olympic games, and then give you some information on the role you will be doing. They try to make it fun for you so hopefully you won't get too bored. There were a few who fell asleep though lol.

Lunch and tea/coffee is supplied through the day, so you don't need to buy anything.

At the end of the day, you get given a little multiple choice 'test' which is very easy and you can work together with this anyway. You also need to do a little test on whether u can do speak 'radio language'. You'll get told what to do and it's very easy. We didn't do any vehicle searches outdoors like the email said we would though.

Wow sounds really bloody easy that, thanks for the quick reply mate!!

My application says 'sent to screening'. been like that since early feb. tried calling about it 10min ago and she just hung up on me. :/
