""Hired and start date agreed""

Post by h123er2 »

Apparently I see thing when I log into my Application, am I suppose to receive and letter or something that proved I'm working in royal mail as I've got no proof that says I'm working there, hmm...

Btw once working there will I be able to update my bank details ?

I am having the same issue, I attended the registration event, handed in the documents etc and was given a "contract". On my application it says Hired and start date agreed yet I haven't recieved anything in the post or been in contact with anyone from RM. Should I still turn up to work on monday (my first day)?

had another look at the contract agreement, it says the agreement is subject to completing pre-engagement checks, but I haven't been contacted about any pre-engagement checks. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Have you given details requested about yourself, proved your identity, provided your 5 year work history, etc as requested. If so they will either have completed "pre-engagement" checks or still be doing them.
