Induction confirmation

[Kmarshall77]

Hi everyone

I am due to go to an induction tomorrow (24/8/15), but I haven't received any confirmation. The email States if you haven't received email confirmation, to not go as you will be turned away. That said, I don't want to not go and risk being 'missed'. I only got the email stating induction/start date last week, so could it simply be a delay? Not sure what to do. Any advice please? Many Thanks :)

check all sources of your email, spam folder etc. Also check the various attachments and statuses of your recruitment on the official site. Sometimes they appear in random places.

I've had the same, however the email attachment I had just said take that email along stating what day your attending and then bring your passport. I wouldn't worry too much.

Hi how long did it take for you to get your induction date x

[chillout1571]

Well I got the email with the speculative date and I must not attend if I don't reeve confirmation.
Then about 3 days later I got am email of 'offer for position as post person' and it was attached.
It's a fairly big standard email saying the date is correct, make sure your there 15 mins before etc.

Have you received your contract yet? I haven't got anything.

They don't like to do things in a hurry do they!

Hi i got the same, i sent email to HR and they told me to attend induction regardless of whether i got confirmation or not.
My advice would be to attend.

I'm still waiting to here from them after my pre employment checks. 4 weeks and counting :-( x

That sounds like a long time hyuxel. My security checks took less than two weeks. Do you think it's worth chasing them up?

[hyuxel]

I've tried emailing to no reply. My local sorting office is waiting for us all to start x

[peshwaarinaan]

Well one good thing is that when I received confirmation they wanted me to start the following week so you shouldn't be hanging around x

[hyuxel]
