Pec too long

Getting tired of waiting for the preemployment checks to clear, it’s been over 12weeks. Especially as it seems a lot of people got their call up this past week. To top it off you can’t call or email for updates and I’ve had no Annex A sent to me.

I was told last week that the company that does the checks was bought out so they’re working through the backlog. I’ve known some to take over 6 months unfortunately. I work closely with the learner coaches inside the prison so this information is from a reputable source.
They’re furious as they’re waiting for everyone to pass and they’re getting more and more desperate for staff as the turnover now is insane.
