Getting a job reference from RM?

[fmrPOSTIE]

Royal Mail standard Reference - lists all of the relevant info including reason for leaving (resigned / retired / dismissed).

Old thread, but I'll post for anyone searching.

Now out of RM thankfully.
Mclovin was right about the contents of leavers pack.
Why anyone who hasn't had a leavers pack would argue the point escapes me...

Anyway leavers pack contains:
letter in lieu of ES85 form - this is the only document that states reason for leaving - it is NOT a reference.
Although you could use it as such if favourable.
P45.
The covering letter tells you to contact Pond st. Sheffield for a reference.
The leavers pack does not contain a reference
Ring up and ask for a paper one to be sent - it will have no reason for leaving.

If applying for a job online, just put the Pond st. HR phone number and address as reference contact,
maybe DO / MC where you worked as well.
All you are required to put is official HR contact details.

How do I know this for a fact?
I googled royal mail job reference to see if the paper reference I requested was official policy.
All it has is:
start and end date
Grade
Legal speak declining any responsibility for misleading information.
Thats it, hope someone who escapes finds it useful

hi,

I worked for Royal mail as a Christmas Casual, could please tell me the email address where I can obtain a reference for a new position. The HR one is the main one I think.

Employee References: thirdpartyenquiries@royalmail.com
our personal details and RM pay number, work location and role etc (they'll use it as confirmation) and then as far as I know they send you one.

Its a very basic reference though, date started, finished and the reason for leaving - that's it.
