HMRC 042R Officer Caseworkers (External) October 2016

Oh well I have the confirmation so there is confirmation- from the top.
" People will be appointed in strict merit order - BUT taken from the oldest campaign first" That was the exact language used in the confirmation.
Regarding PCS involvement, I'd take that with a degree of scepticism - they will only be acting in the interest of internal candidates who are financially paying into them. External candidates certainly won't come into it or will be paid lip service at the very most so I'd not take much notice of PCS involvement this stage.

You're waiting for an O position and most on here are waiting for an HO so your situation doesn't affect us at all. Enough people have told you this already so why do you keep stating the same thing over and over

"Most" being the key word

There are no 042R Officer campaigns, it was for HOs only even though the thread name says O. Therefore anyone waiting for an officer position is from another campaign and this thread won't help them at all. I say most because there are still people who think this thread discusses O roles but the majority are waiting on HO positions. Do u understand now?

I hope he does get a formal offer soon, and I hope someone from this forum waiting for a HO position is his manager.

All I am seeking is fairness and equality through standard procedures to be implemented which as to whether or not that is currently happening is debatable. Don't think that's much to ask.

IF that is all you are seeking Jamz, you have selected the wrong target.

Many of your posts appear to be deliberately inflammatory and intended to unsettle or upset candidates for the 042R campaign - which as far as I can tell has absolutely nothing to do with your own personal grievance.

If you are as altruistic as you claim, you might bear in mind that the people you accuse of compromising your chances have done nothing wrong. They have simply been successful in a fairly testing recruitment process. If your bitter and envious posts claiming to have inside knowledge have caused anyone to have unnecessary worry you should be ashamed of yourself.

Their argument there would be...

When that 1 job became available, the person with the lower score had their checks complete and the one with the higher score didn't.

They would argue that the merit principle hasn't been broken as they will say that the the person with the higher score is still assured of a job from the campaign, regardless of the time it takes.

Whether you agree or not and I'm no legal expert but that stance will probably stand up.

Jamzz's ambition has been to write as many posts as possible, create as much interaction as possible to get himself 'promoted' to community admin on a forum......he WILL be king of the keyboard warriors - lets try not to take that away from him !

On a positive note, I had a lovely call today from HR answering some queries I'd emailed, couldn't have been more helpful! Contract will be given by manager when start, 1st pay day 31st May.....that's all I need to worry about !!

Thanks for the pay clarifiction! My current pay day is usually the 15th, but my annual leave allowance runs until October 1st. I've already used all my AL so my last pay will be recovering that, and something I bought through salary sacrifice, so no pay for me from 15th March to 31st May :O I'm lucky to be in a position where it won't impact me seriously but still a bit depressing!

You can apply for a salary advance when you start.

What's the annual leave situation? Is it pro rata so you get what's left of the years AL or does your years AL start when you start? I only ask because I already have 17 days booked off for my wedding and honeymoon end Sept to mid october. Didn't have it all booked last year when I applied lol

AL starts the month that you start. You can accumulate flexi days too so I'm sure it won't be a problem.
