shazrashaAs most of those who work know filling forms out when you start is part and parcel of the lovely experience.
You have to fill in your contract, your p45, you have a Bacs form (so you can be paid), and for those who work through an agency you have your timesheets.
Now I don't know about you but these forms can be amusing at times.
The p45 comes in 3 sheets and has all the details of your tax information. Now there are instructions on it for both the employer and the employee.
Employee: Please remove and keep the front page as this is important to you.
Employer: Please keep page 2 + 3. On the of chance that you've been given page 1 by the employee tell them they are a twit and had it back to them. (Obviously the official version comes without twits)
Now Bacs form and contract are fairly straightforward but the timesheets are a new experience for most people so K's came with handy instructions. That we then had to equate to the actual form.
1. The timesheets are in a four part self carbonating paper. Four sheets?! The one we had only had three!
2. Please make sure that you complete your timesheet exactly as shown. Well that would work if we wrote over the wrong boxes as the layout is completely different
3. Hand Yellow back copy to Client, Keep Green copy for yourself A feat slightly marred by the fact that all the sheets are white!
4. On the client copy sign to say that "I consent that the information on this form may be passed to the client" Does this mean that if you don't sign this bit you don't have to had it over?
I also liked the bit on the form that leaves space for "Temp name and number". One wonders if that means you take on a new name just for while you are working for this company?
And on a completely different topic.
My computer exists in a time zone of its own. No matter how often I reset the thing I've invariably either lost or gained some time the next time I log in.
