70P Bonus? :holmes:

Everyone thats already started gets an extra £1 an hour bonus, people that start on or before 22nd will get 70p an hour extra and anyone after that 50p. But I can't accept my schedule cos I'm not working in Weymouth. Also most of the shifts I've been given are for guarding and patrolling when I only trained for PSA.

Now managed to make an ESS account. Can't believe they've placed me in Weymouth when I'm living in London. What a cock up.

I'm gonna try and collect accreditation and uniform tomorrow in that order. What's the best time of day to go?

Edit: yay my SIA license arrived today :smile:

Go in the morning and wheres Weymouth

I turned up at the accreditation centre and was turned away because I wasn't on the system either, there was a G4S help desk and almost everyone there weren't on the system either. I filled out a couple of forms but still have heard nothing.

As for the bonus, this is the fist time it being mentioned. How did you hear about it?

I could be an awesome trainer :afro:

Alas I want to be a doctor...... but might continue in the Security Business while I'm at uni for the next 7-8 so years. :smartass:

But I'll have to give up Policing if I choose to stay in the Security Business :cry:

Ooooh right. I'm popping in for work as and when now tbh. Because im sick of waiting for a schedule and want to clock up some hours.

Apparantly the schedulers say this is okay.

Oooh when is the next payday by the way? How often are paydays? I thought they were every week but I get the scary feeling they might not be.

If you applied through Bridging the Gap then no SIA is needed

I got paid for one day training on the 15th June (but not since), so I'd imagine the 15th :colondollar:
