Re: Turned away from first shift!
Same thing happened to me, turned away from first shift at Doncaster yesterday. Stupid thing is they actually needed the people they turned away to work as they didn't have enough staff, but the background checks haven't come through.
Angard Staffing is terrible.

Re: Turned away from first shift!
It is stupid, they gave everyone, in writing, a provisional offer of work subject to passing the CRB check and then when you turn up for work, you get turned away. I have even signed the work contract they sent me. What gives?

Re: Turned away from first shift!
It's not a full CRB, I had my interview 2 weeks ago & got a text today saying checks done and ready to start on Monday. It's prob a basic pnc check IMHO. I have a CRB with my normal job, they take months to process, not 14 days!!!

Basic disclosureHamptonboy wrote: It's prob a basic pnc check IMHO.
A basic disclosure can be applied for by anyone for any purpose. The basic disclosure lists ‘unspent’ convictions, that is to say those convictions that have not been rehabilitated under the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The number of basic disclosures applied for has seen strong growth over recent years, driven by growing legal and organisational requirements. For example Royal Mail started using the service in 2007 and all new applicants to the civil service are required to produce a basic disclosure as part of their security vetting. At present, the Criminal Records Bureau, which provides a similar service for England and Wales, does not provide a basic disclosure service. Disclosure Scotland therefore processes applications from Scotland, England and Wales, with Access NI providing a service for Northern Ireland.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Re: Turned away from first shift!
I was told to go home from Teeside Sorting office on 28th, said they didnt know about any new members of staff working that day. Me along with quite a few other people. Emailed them, no response. Disgraceful
