Now, the same folk, are working more hours now than they were when on 30 hours?

Double prepping for 2 hours a day- 6 days a week.working day off, overtime,

Got me thinking- if your long service full time, you can buy down to 22 hours, get a lump sum, and when, and it will be when, a national agreement is made on 4 1/2 hours - ker ching- because you will be the most senior part timer- your made up to full time again! :dance

Easy eh- and in the meantime, you can get ot by coming in and dble prepping and workin your day aff.
Thats how daft Royal Mail is :arrrghhh Brutal :chuckle
so how does buy down work for example if you been there for 21yrs how much wud u get
