Uniforms

[Stokie1]

I started 4+weeks ago with a contract until June and was set up on the system last week. However, I have been advised I can only order boots and a coat i.e. PPE. Anyone else aware of this happening?

Have you logged onto the uniform website to see what it will allow you to order?

[Stokie1]

Unable to access and DOM them advised me that only coats, hi-viz jackets and boots are available to order at the moment

What a laughable system that is for new starters,doesn’t give them much hope for the future

I started in September and was advised I had to wait 7 weeks for my DOM to be able to order my uniform.
Finally, two weeks ago I got my full allocation of uniform. 1 x Trousers, 1 x shorts, 5 x tops, fleece, waterproof coat, shoes and hat.
There was no mention of only certain items being available.

When I first logged onto the dimensions ordering portal the only options were steel toe shoes and hi viz vests - I phoned the helpline number on the website and they changed my options to 'delivery' rather than 'warehouse' and I was able to choose everything. Not sure if I was supposed to, but I've not been asked for it back!

I remember doing exactly this to get access to basic uniform. After maybe 6 months or so some other items appeard in the portal that I was then able to order also.

That bit about the waterproof coat. They STILL breaching trade description like that?

I've just looked up the full info for you. From day 1 you are entitled to shoes, 2 x bottoms, 5 x tops, fleece, hi-viz. After 6 weeks (as long as your contract exceeds 13 weeks) you get your full entitlement.
So, log on to the uniform website and see what it says. Your login is your payroll number and Delivery, you then need to change the password.
If the full allocation isn't offered, call the uniform team on 01332 697118 or email them at royalmail@dimensions.co.uk
Hope that helps and you get sorted

No wonder new starters do not last long, you are entitled to full kit, your Dom is trying it on, he knows the chances are you’ll quit within 3 months, if you get on joy see the union.
