This is weird, right?

[NotAllThere]

At my client of nigh on 15 years, every worker has a personnel number on their badge. But contractors are clearly identified.

I can't imagine any financial services firm not doing this. You have to keep track of those whom access confidential bank data.

Standard Chartered do.

[Anonimouse]

Jpmorgan
Bank of England do

Some banks issue you with a staff number as logon id

None of my banks have ever done that.

HR is asking for personal email details, staff number and boss details to move them to new platform. This is for contractors - a few of us in this email list.

What is going on.

Also they just let go of a lot of people who contracts expired at the end of Jan. Am I over rhinking

Personal email: [email protected]
Staff number: Do you have one? Sometimes contingent workers/contractors are assigned one for ease of processing ID cards, etc. If not, N/A - contractor
Boss details: Dave Hiring Manager

Done. Yes, you're over-thinking it.

Just keeping options open as opposed to relying on assumptions...

But, I would agree.

In some places, I have been given a very specifically 'contractor' number. Differentiated from 'permanent' numbers by letters at the beginning or some such. These have been required for Support calls and hardware assigning.

HR may not be clued up as that. Maybe.

Otherwise, the N/A would work a treat.

If HR aren't aware of how they deal with the identification of contractors I'd be amazed. More likely the OP is essentially a "disguised employee" and so does have a pseudo-employee ID within the company

I am sometimes asked for a staff number, e.g
when filling in a photo ID form. 'N/A contractor' does the trick.

I used to put 007 in and then come in with a black turtle neck jumper under my black suit for the rest of the week

Makes a change from the French maid outfit.

Just mail them back and ask if you mean contractors and ask them what this system is and then make a call. I can't think of anywhere I've been where I've had a staff number so I couldn't do it anyway.

If they are doing it for everyone, contractors, suppliers, permies and anyone else that has an account then you'll be fine. It appears you are on the old system anyway so same details on a new system won't make much difference.

Make a few more inquiries and then come back with more information if you are still unsure.
