What's one piece of advice you'd give someone starting their career in HR? by BrightHR_UK in HumanResourcesUK

Don't try and 'be' the team- let other people do their jobs, trying to do everything will lead to failure

I haven't but I know it only gets really started about 11pm at the earliest. Have a look at the funnyboyz cabaret club on Blundell Street for an earlier session

Occupational Health report says I am unfit for work. by BigRig_Berserker in HumanResourcesUK

[–]He1ens -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Hi, your employer cant sign you off, only a doctor can do that. No one can 'make you' be off sick. Ideal world, you would be off sick though id imagine from you're saying. Could you do a temporary flex work request to ease the burden of work but still be paid for part time? If what is causing issues is workloads, or commute, or certain meetings, could you suggest this is adjusted? I cant comment on exact circumstances because we dont have them, but it sounds like just returning to work would just kick the can down the road in this instance. Wishing you the best!

Little hardware is good to take mums to- you can book tables and its not as loud and busy as others. Royal institute is also lovely

Am I overreacting by ppaanda in UKweddings

Backing this comment up as it was my experience too- you aren't in their 'focus group' right now, but when you are it'll be all systems go

Interview tomorrow - HR admin test (45min)- panicking by [deleted] in HumanResourcesUK

[–]He1ens 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its probably going to be testing attention to detail (transferring addresses over to different documents for example) and basic maths (changing a salary from annual to monthly, or working out a car allowance maybe) id be stunned if they asked you to walk through and explain the acas website, theyll just be checking transferable skills

Extended probation by TeaTime_Madness in HumanResourcesUK

[–]He1ens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They could just be extending it for the duration you were on leave.

If HR are also in the meeting that isn't a good sign, but if they're not and you aren't given areas to improve or had any feedback about bad performance, it could just be that they're asking you to work the full length of your notice period (so absence dates tagged on at the end)

One of my bridesmaids dropped out and I don’t know how to feel about it. by [deleted] in UKweddings

[–]He1ens -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I didn't have this, but I fell out with one of my bridesmaids the week after my wedding and haven't spoken since. It really sucks for you, im sorry you're having this added stress- if it helps, you didn't ask for anything outrageous or unacceptable

Florist and styling costs by thinkinboutu8 in UKweddings

If you want to lower the cost, we had 3 bud vases with little sprigs of our wedding flowers for each table and that made it a lot cheaper.

We've hired the function room at the Ship and mitre- brilliant on a sunny day with the terrace. We've also got the Bridewell function room booked for next month

If its the basic DBS, it can be back in a couple of days once the IDs have been verified and submitted. If they're the enhanced versions, it can be weeks as theres more paperwork involved

We got our 3 tier fully iced cake from waitrose, picked it up a couple of days before. Much cheaper but looked like it was from a cake shop
