Hey all .. so today my status has changed to .. Your application is currently going through pre-employment checks and has been referred for a decision.

What does this mean? Eeeekkk I only checked on the off chance being bored on lunch at work!! Lol

Will I hear some thing soon or is there still a long wait??

TIA

That means you are now in vetting. Roughly 8 weeks but known to be a lot longer at times.

[Mercedes16]

Oh I was told I was in vetting 3.5 weeks ago by ss!! It used to say you are going through pre employment check we will contact you for more information!! But today it changed to the above about being passed for a decision so I thought this was progress I see ppl on here awaiting status change so I thought that may have been it lol thanks though

[Vicavac]

I think that means that your vetting has been completed and sent to A & C for decision on the outcome of the vetting. If they need further info, it will be sent back to the vetting team...If I'm correct they can send it back 3 times before they make the final decision...
So you are very close to completion I think...

[Mercedes16]

Ahh ok that makes sense!! 3 times they really do want blood don’t they lol well fingers crossed I hear something soon!! Got a little nervous when I seen the change was not expecting anything so quick to be honest!! Thanks for your help

[bluinfernouk]

Got my IT Access info and my Uniform Order form today

Another step closer to starting ;p

That’s fab!! Not long for you now!! I see your vetting was super quick can I ask what did your status change to before you received “the call”

Thanks xx

[bluinfernouk]

Mercedes, once Vetting started, it had the "pre-employment checks are being being carried out" message, then it changed to "we will contact you shortly to advise you of the next step" - I got the call a few days after that.

[Mercedes16]

Ahh ok mine said that first one now says “referred for decision” so hopefully it will go to contact you shortly in the next week or so

I’ve recieved my contract and everything. The pay on the contract is much less than was originally stated. Has anyone else had this?

It will be as you wont be at your establishment for 3 months. Your pay will be the same as everyone elses at the poelt course.
