[hitman hilts 4]

hi does any one know if my employer is able to photocopy my licences and keep them on there records at my place of work. is this legal ? thanks mark

no mate dont think they can as you are letting someone have all the info they need to make a fraud cert and possibly buy guns if they are good at counterfitting

Maybe it matters if it's relevant to your work.

Why would you want your employer to keep a record? If ever you loose/ misplace or damage your cert your licensing office will re- issue after completing the forms again.

 

After all, your RFD will not accept a photo copy when you go to buy ammo. Just keep your Certs in your gun safe.

What reasons have they given for wanting copies of them?

[gerron 13]

erm ...feel like i'm pointing out the obvious here but lets turn it around....if you are employing someone to run around the countryside with a firearm would you not like proof that you made the necessary checks before unleashing them ?

There is no reason they can't take a copy if this is the form of ID you have chosen to give them, most people would chose to give a driving licence or passport which is copied and kept in your personnel file. This is perfectly normal in any businesses.

 

If you are not happy with them copying your SGC give them an alternative.

 

If THEY are insisting on your SGC then I would want to ask why this document is significant to them.

Of course your employer can take a copy, there is nothing illegal about photocopying a FAC/SGC.

 

Whether you are happy, or what relevance it has to your work is a matter for you and them.
