All employees must wear and display photo ID when on site

Not here , if we don't put the 13 digits on the card we get told off - 3 strikes and we're conducted.

Health and Safety if you ask me anything dangling from our necks could be caught in machines or engine while doing van checks...

Thats why they have a "snap" lock on them, any reasonable tension and the snap lock breaks apart.

Getting stickers on tracked items should be prioritized rather than this crap instead of standing there writing 13 digits on p739s.

I and my office only put the duty Number and our initials - 6 figures - I though all offices did the same.

I think he means the 13 digit Tracked Item barcode number

Do they have to be worn on delivery ?

I have never had an ID card and am coming up to 6 years service!! Have asked all managers who have been at our office,to many to count, and am still waiting! Should I walk off site, contact regional manager, carry on regardless??

Likewise I have never been issued with an ID badge after years of asking (I'd like to be able to get into the English Heritage sites for free!). I've had my photo taken 3 times but still nothing. I was once turned away from a PO on collection as the postmaster refused to hand over the mail as I had no ID - reported this and still nothing!

I cannot understand why this isn't something we can just request ourselves on the website or even why it isn't just done automatically nationwide when required, simply because so many managers just will not bother to do it.

Exactly what I said to a new manager when I was about to climb into my 600.

[nikki44]

We had another acting manager today, told him about my ID problems and all he said was it should have been done!!! Still no sign of an ID card and even though I go to a main centre every Saturday, I've never been asked for ID!! Am at my wits end. This is now my mission to get a card by Xmas. Let you know how things go!

[nikki44]

Update.....asked acting manager when pictures will be taken for ID card and he shouted at me!! Told him not to be aggressive I was only asking!! I shall ask again today, feel I have touched a nerve OR I pain for keep asking!!

Just shy of 3 years since my last one expired I now have a new id badge!

Photo looks suspiciously like the original one taken from the first badge!! Lucky I've not changed much

I was asked to provide my photo when I got the job just over a year ago.
No pass/photo ID has ever materialised.

Hi, I'm a newbie!

I've just been asked to send in a photo for my id badge but also been asked the following:

'Could you also indicate a preferred name that you would like printed on the reverse side of your Photo ID card. This should be the name that you are usually known as, but cannot be offensive to any person.'

Would this be just my first name or my full name?

Thanks in advance!

[TrueBlueTerrier]

Both.

But its along the line of Tony - instead of Anthony - Steve - instead of Stephen - Gill instead of Gillian (I think you get the idea )

[GT85]

It is so that the ID card can be turned around and worn as a name badge.
