Best Practices – Government Unpacking Certification & PVO Responsibilities

This overview highlights the importance of the Unpacking Certification form for Atlas Canada government moves.

Purpose:

• Required for Atlas Canada to invoice the government; without it, payment cannot be processed.

Pick Up & Delivery:

• Always obtain a copy from operations.

• Ensure the member signs at the destination if:

  • They decline the unpack, or

  • The PVO/crew performs the unpack.

• If the Destination Agent performs the unpack, it is their responsibility to complete the form.

Sections of the Form:

• Unpacking performed by PVO/crew

• Member declines unpack

• Member requests unpack but it is not performed

Best Practices:

• Complete all sections and collect signatures to avoid non-compliance penalties.

• Contact Atlas Canada Government & Corporate Services or inform the Member Coordinator (MC) if issues arise.

• Proper documentation ensures faster payment to Agents and PVOs.

Key Question to Ask Yourself:
“Have I done everything I can to protect myself and my Agent?”

Key Takeaway:
Proper documentation is your greatest protection and ensures compliance, payment, and smooth operations.
