  1. Updated the chauffeur code for VIPs for proceeding and drop off by entering a location after the VP (proceeding) or VD (drop off). For example if you are on a VIP job and you are proceeding with the VIP to Fox Studios, then you woud enter "VP Fox Studios Moorepark". When you arrive at the drop off location you would then enter "VD Fox studios Moorepark". If you had multiple proceedings and multiple dropoffs you would repeat this procedure for each proceeding and each drop off.
  2. Only use the AS Directed "VJAD" when the VIP has you going to many places where the VIP has not provided us in the VIP Job List. In essence when the VIP simply wants to do as they decide, when they decide without at actual job list that has been planned and informed to event managers.

The #Chauffer-Event-Jobs channel has 1 @eventmanager rostered every 8 hours to monitor the channel and allocate jobs to drivers. The @eventmanager rostered is responsible for all Chauffeurs across the Company’s offices and countries. This means that communication to the @eventmanager needs to be done in an orderly manner to ensure that communication between chauffeurs and the rostered event manager is quick and efficient. When communicating on the #Chauffer-Event-Jobs channel all chauffeurs need to minimize the amount of the time writing on SLACK and how they communicate with the @eventmanagers.

  1. All codes must be entered instantly and immediately without delay. This is to ensure that the rostered staff are able to match jobs to charges and tracking for the safety and security of all Iconic Chauffeurs.

  2. All codes must be entered accurately to ensure the system records all jobs and tracking accurately.

  3. All codes must be entered without the use of the @ tag system. AT NO POINT IS A CODE to be used with the @ tag. The exception to this is when a chauffeur used the break codes or the offline or online codes.

  4. When a Chauffeur needs to talk or communicate with the rostered event manager, or supervsior or provide additional information regarding a job, issue, or matter and needs to talk on the #Chauffer-Event-Jobs channel the chauffeur is only use @eventmanagers for all communication, conversations, replies. This allows the rostered event manager to reply to all communcations coming in from all Chauffeurs on all the lines, but also ensures that if the rostered event manager is busy or unable to reply in due time, that a supervisor, @steve.baltzois or another event manager can be alerted to reply to the chauffeur in a reasonable amount of time.

  5. While at times on the #Chauffer-Event-Jobs channel the name of the rostered event manager will display to allow you to know who is talking. Where you need to reply on the the #Chauffer-Event-Jobs channel do not reply to that specific person. This reduces the ability for other supervisors or event managers to assist if the channel is busy with other communications. The name of the event manager is only for Chauffeurs to see who is communicating. To ensure that Chauffeurs are focussed on the work and not who to speak to directly all communication, forwards, replies, conversations must always and only be the group tag of @eventmanagers.

  6. At times the system or the event manager may not always display the name of the person speaking, especially during busy times. This is used when event managers use the group account of @eventmanagers to reply to provide information back to the Chauffeur.
