5. Lost and Malfunctioning Cards
It is recognised that there will be an initial cost to the business to introduce the new
photo ID cards/system therefore losses should be kept to a minimum and all employees
have a responsibility to achieve this aim.
• Royal Mail will meet the full costs of the initial issue of photo ID cards.
• If a card subsequently malfunctions for any reason then this will be replaced at no
cost to the employee.
• If an employee looses
at no cost to the employee but the business may informally counsel an employee on
the need to keep replacement cards secure.
• Where there is a delay in issuing the individual’s replacement card Royal Mail will
have an emergency access card for the employee to use.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Re: Lost ID Badge
Been with RM just over 12 yrs. Only ever been issued with a name badge which i never wore( i already knew my name). Never had any sort of id/photo id card. Never been asked to produce one even when on collections from Post Offices or when i go to the MC on missort runs.itslofty wrote:be with roayl mail nearly 2 years and not been issued with an id badge yet.

Re: Lost ID Badge
I didn't know they expired. Maybe that's a new tactic by RM, your ID has expired, therefore you don't exist and so we'll stop paying you and employ part timers to take your place.tigercat wrote:Mine and everyone elses in our office all expired late last year. No sign of any replacements!

Re: Lost ID Badge
5 years without being issued one, even though I had my picture taken on my first week. Every year management asks who hasn't got one.itslofty wrote:be with roayl mail nearly 2 years and not been issued with an id badge yet.
I've never been challenged to show ID out on delivery (never mind in the office), but there's been a few times when conmen have got into sheltered housing complexes and I feel I should have something to prove who I am when knocking on doors.
The machine stops.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: Lost ID Badge
My ID has also expired. Dispite repeatedly telling management that my ID badge has expired, I haven't had a valid one for the past two years.
I have the same issue with a padlock for a mail Dropbox. It has been without a lock for as long as I can remember. Told managers repeatedly that it needs a lock on it. Nothing happens.
Why are managers so useless? Why do they have no regard for the security of their staff and the mail?

Re: Lost ID Badge
Cant they use a scanner to track it down. The card gives off an RFID signal which is why it expires but no idea at what range it can be detected.
