Did you give a copy of your documents to the company you came to work for?

Question

Career in IT

Is it normal that after applying for a company, before going to work, they ask for a copy of the passport, signing a non-disclosure and video confirmation that you agree to "not disclose confidential information" under threat of liability?

Answer 1

Video confirmation is definitely a freak circus.

Answer 2

If this bothers you, you can ask them for video confirmation that in the event of a false accusation, they will have to pay you a tidy sum. Under the threat that you will not work for them.
First you need to understand the main thing - there is no spoon . You sign a contract, and you don't owe anything to anyone in advance. It must be mutually beneficial. Well, at least beneficial for you. If you don't like something, say so. If you want to add your own clauses to the contract - add. Of course, the clauses must not be contrary to the law. And only by mutual agreement, when everything suits everyone, can an agreement be concluded. That is, you can add a clause that on the first working day your boss should dance in front of you, and make it clear that you are ready to work only under such conditions. Further, in the process of negotiations (before the conclusion), you can change your mind or come up with something else. The trick is that there is a chance not to conclude an agreement. And if you really need it, then it’s more profitable to make concessions. If they need to, they are more willing to make concessions. In any case, it will be voluntary, both on your part and on their part.
After conclusioncontract, you are only required to comply with the contract. And if there are points that they may require video, then this is normal.
By the way, it will be very difficult to prove the disclosure, so this is just intimidation. Well, or check. You know better. Perhaps they need a very loyal and obedient employee, and refusal will mean that you are potentially problematic. Then it's just a tricky part of a protracted interview that goes on even while you're at work. Otherwise, it's just a policy of fear.

Answer 3

The first and second are standard practice. Although by law it is impossible to keep a copy of a passport in a personal file, most personnel officers are not trained in such subtleties and keep everything, including a copy of a marriage certificate.
Third, I think it's a reasonable requirement for remote workers.

Answer 4

damn yes, this is crap, of
course it’s not worth filling out anything and it’s clear that the employment contract should be fake and fake passport data
are trying to frankly fuck you

Answer 5

I don’t know what kind of reality you have, what country, in mine it’s like this:
1) I handed over a copy of my passport every time, as it was arranged
2) I never signed non-disclosure (once they issued a form of secrecy, but this is different)
3) a video was never required ... what kind of circus... they didn’t let you touch a pistol with three blindfolds on it, in the name of loyalty to the company?

Answer 6

Well, here's the video. Looks very strange. The rest of the items seem to be in order.
