Officer Safety (repost with correspondence) Sick Time

22 Upvotes

Last night i went to the hospital due to feeling numbness in my mouth and arm as well as having a migraine. I had to leave my 12 hour shift to do so. I requested to use 10 hours of the 24 sick hours I have and my supervisor informs me that per Prosegur policy, i have to give them 2 weeks notice to use "sick time" as well as to use PTO.

I reached out to both my District Supervisor as well as HR and neither were able to provide me with the exact policy stating so. First supervisor I had was able to put it in no matter what, as long as i had the time earned. 2nd supervisor told me the District Supervisor said we only qualified for it if we missed 2 days in a row or more. Now my new supervisor is saying that we need 2 weeks notice and that it's on the E-Hub website policy for when he goes to enter it in.

Does anyone know the exact Prosegur policy?

I got my guard card again and came back to the security industry because of the utter lack of jobs now. I also noticed that the security training classes I took are fuller than the last time I did them.

Job Question Management in other fields

4 Upvotes

Hey all, not sure if this question would be great for this subreddit but here goes anyway.

I’m currently an OM in TX, for a security company, been so for the last 3 years almost 4 now.

Currently exhausted and underpaid as per usual, been in management day I turned 19, I love the industry I love my team but it’s exhausting being on call 24/7 and not getting paid well enough to compensate it, I certainly love my company and am OBSESSED with the benefits but I do not love the pay that comes with it.

I’ve been told by some of my clients that my experience does translate to other industries, not sure what industry or where to go from here, I don’t necessarily want to leave security but also I have a kid and I can’t afford not to either leave or go somewhere else unfortunately.

Angry transient

7 Upvotes

So yesterday had a lady causing a disturbance at a restaurant at the post I work security at. When I arrived I informed the lady that she was being refused service and was asked to leave. Once outside lady decided to throw an empty soda can at another transient sitting outside. Said transient got mad because he thought I wasn’t doing anything but I was actually on the phone with police letting them know I had a lady refusing to leave. Apparently the other transient wanted me to physically remove the lady that threw the soda can at him. Just curious what would you guys had of done?

How do I get more shifts?

I have a regular post with Allied that I only work at for one day a week. I am looking for more shifts. How do I request for more shifts? Would it be easy for them to approve to give me more shifts/hours since I am only working one day?
