thanks for your replies but i still havent got an answer, i know who gets what copy cos it says on it and i know they are A4 size, but arent they green paper? the one i got was ordinary printing paper and looked very much like a photocopy
You should receive 2 copies, one to retain and one for your new employer, I can't recall the colours, but they should be multi-coloured and not photocopies. It seems that you may have received a file copy that your previous employer should have placed in your personnel file. Go back to them and ask for the original copies.
