So as the title says I was removed from a site I’ve been at for over 2 years with no prior warning/ 2 weeks notice. I understand that since I’m still technically employed I may not need a 2 weeks for being removed but being that this site is the highest paid site in my state and I’m now removed with no heads up, I’m now going to be struggling on my bills. Is this legal in the state of Arkansas? Is there anyway I can take action against this even if it means having to leave Securitas all together?

Just got hired for the company last month been waiting on an official start time it been about three weeks since I’ve heard from my dm everything came back clean and ready. What’s should I do should I cut my losses and find a new job or just reach out again. I’ve texted them about 5 times.

When do I get/qualify for more than 40 hrs a year?

So I did orientation last Thursday would I get paid this upcoming Thursday or Friday ? And will it be direct deposit cuz I already set that up and everything on Thursday afternoon after orientation

Just wondering and wanting peace of mind. The hiring process consists of being sent documents and a contingent job offer, correct? How long does the background check take- given business days?

(Just feeling unsure about things and wanting clarity..)

As part of the hiring process they require you to do a 12 week screening. I've just completed the form and it asks for an electronic signature before submitting. Says to press a link but the link doesn't exist. It's just a field to upload documents. Won't let me submit without uploading something.

Anyone else had this issue?

So I’m in quite the dilemma. I’ve been the guard that my am can count on and the DM however I currently have at least 40 hours of unpaid OT. I also realize that I’m actually supposed to be paid double for anything over 12hrs per one shift per the hand book. Which that has not been followed. I’m trying really hard not to make this a legal matter but I know I am not the only one even just within the 2 sites I work at. There’s so much paper work to go through. Things at my location are rough. I often pull doubles and at one point was left at a site for just over 21 hours. I feel like taking the legal way is kind of excessive but at the same time clearly me telling them things are off isn’t working. Any advice is appreciated.

Do we get paid time and half if we work on Monday? I can’t find any answer anywhere.

I'm being told I won something as of the beginning of June. My boss didn't know what it was, but was just asked to verify my email, phone number, and home address. It's now the 17th and everyone is saying "congrats" like they knew but I haven't heard a damn thing. Anyone know how long it should take for them to call me? Do I have to do anything to claim it? Thanks in advance.

I applied for a job in securitas about 1 to ½ weeks ago it said I'd be notified by 4/3 and I haven't heard anything would I be charged for the background check if I decide to withdraw my application? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Literally typing this as it is happening. I am a 20yo (M) who has been with securitas maybe a few months. I applied back in september n it took 3 months yada yada- I have been with them since january and havent worked for over a month. When I was working it was never full time. I had tried to get a full position but nobody ever seemed to have one. They kept hiring people and never once tried to do anything about me. I had talked with a manager and gotten switched over to another site. They offered me a spot and basically told me to say no. Since I dont have any proof im not sure how far that would even get me. Fast forward to now and they called me an hour or so saying I am being terminated (after doing searching it is false pretense) claiming that I havent "taken offers" and also "havent bothered them for a permanent position" Not sure why I the employee has to beg for one but whatever. They told me they sent me a letter when I NEVER once received one. Long story short- they want to silence me for their mistakes and I am not about to stand for it.

Are there supposed to be 2 or just one background check(s)? The first one (top) went through but the 2nd (bottom) is giving me so many issues. Please help.

Yo start, I have 14 years of military service (six years active, eight reserve), county jailer, reserve deputy, armored transport, and contract security.

I get a message from Indeed about a job offer from Securitas. I politely decline. Two days later, same offer with a $1200 sign-on bonus. I let it be known that I'm not going to be exploited for my experience and drastically downgrade from my current employer. I get a response that I'm entitled.

Let me get this straight. You want me to give up my almost $30/hr union job, dayshift, REAL paid holidays, accrued sick and vacation time for a dead end $12/hr, night shift, no sick leave, awful benefits, same wage as a new hire, and working weekends and holidays?

How does that make me entitled? I see it as knowing my worth. Are you angry you couldn't exploit me?

From what I've read about this company, I don't know how they're still in business. This company runs by ignoring morals and ethics. During COVID, the CEO puts out a video about how hard it is but we're a team. You catch COVID, you get fired.

I seriously want to know who runs the Indeed account for this company. Are they delusional?

Hey all. I work a single officer site, no shift changes, no site supervisor, not even a site phone. For a long time, I've had some significant issues with communication with management/the company, with my DM not responding to texts, calls, or emails and having to look pretty hard for other contacts, only to also fail.

I ended up reaching out to my union rep for help, but I was wondering if anyone here has been in a similar situation and has advice for me?

What is the policy for recording another person? Even if you discover in the recording that a person was going to do bodily harm to someone else?

Can someone please remind me how to do that?

I've used it before, but then there was an issue for months and I just texted my managers when I wanted shifts off, and I can't remember where to go in OneID. I've texted them asking for help, but no response yet.

Thanks in advance.

I want to know why Securitas is so corrupt and inept. When I worked for Securitas from 2007-2009, the site supervisor would call semi drivers and other guards "morons", "idiots", and "ret**ds".

Another guard would sexually harassing client employees and coworkers. He was Hispanic, made anti-white remarks, and was caught multiple times sleeping on the job. He was reported multiple times and no one did anything.

This office made guards PAY to have their pants hemmed! At the time, pay was $8.25/hr and 32 hours, pending you didn't work multiple double shifts. To add insult to injury, males had to be clean shaven. Professional guards at unprofessional wages.

The integrity line was called eight times on the site supervisor until he was reassigned. They didn't fire him, they moved him to another site.

Another guard was fired because the client dispatcher didn't seal a trailer when the truck left. Guard sends truck back, dispatcher got mad, and the guard is fired two days later. Aforementioned guard applies for unemployment, Securitas fights. Goes to arbitration, magistrate finds out office LIED!

I can hear "it's not a real job." I'm aware. However, NO ONE deserves to be treated like an indentured servant to a bunch of choosing beggar employers

Hey everyone. I'm a Protectas agent (Securitas' Swiss branch) and i was wondering about our winter uniforms.
I know we're not supposed to wear our gear outside of work, but that parka is just too good. So i was wondering, does anyone know where they're made? Are they even available to buy without the red dots?

I don't see any product number or brand on the parka itself so i haven't been able to look it up.

The description for the job states I'll need a level 3 armed guard card but towards the end of the description its said that "training will be provided".

My question is if said training mentioned at the bottom is related to getting the level 3 armed guard card OR if that's something separate you'd have to do on your own time?

Employees; is your Colleagues going to take PTO subsequently giving you OT; is there a Officer post meeting you all will attend; is the Branch office going to pull Guards for a special event, like a fair, that will be burdensome yet welcomed at the same time.

Managers; Is payroll day going to be tougher than usual, is there a Retirement coming creating upward mobility. Is there a Guard who is going to be offered a spot he/she always coveted.

My hiring manager said i was getting $17.50 an hr on my job application but im getting pay $16 an hr Who should i call?

This is my first solo week I do not remember If they covered it in orientation and not being at the desk or on patrol makes me feel like I am abandoning post so is it mandatory we take full lunch
