That depends on if that is worked into the revision. My feeling is that bag carriers (waysiders) should prep them as they are included, or will be, in the workload, so if they have to do it themselves it means less outdoor time.

I suppose a FT or even a PT can do it under the new system, if its in workload. After all nothing is ruled out and delivery spans are enablers, then as long as the time taken to prep is included in the duty of whoever is delegated to do it, then anyone can. :sad:
It could also depend on attendance patterns in your office.
A 20hr P/T member could find themselves only working two 10hr shifts in which case they will prep everything.....and do IPS. :hmmmm
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

im on 24 hr contract,

mon-thu 4 hrs
fri-sat 6 hours

mon-thu walk prepped (or should be)
fri-sat (prepped by me)

so as no revison will have taken place by june 7th, when will i prep these d2d's?, when i arrive at the office i have to leave pretty much as fast as i can to catch same van as others in close rounds, its never fully prepped and im about to ban myself from o/t as i werent paid for 30 mins i went over.

i currently let some 1 else do the d2d as i have no time.

We have that many part-timers in my office that we have nobody on the IPS! All the full-timers are throwing Walks out for part time staff! We used to have around 40 people on the IPS now its 3 and they are on it for around 4hrs a day! We start at 5:45 but dont get out of the office till 10:45. The part timers start at 9:30 and their walks are suppose to be fully prepped but they come into half prepped frames and leave around 13:00 so finish around 18:00. This is all without this new way of delivering D2D's so when they have to prep all these aswell god know what time they are going to be finishing!!!

Just read the two pages of this forum and it seems all guess work. No one really knows whats happening on monday about who preps d2d.

This should of been clarified within the documentation of the d2d agreement.

Looking at the new agreement on the way of working on delivering d2d, it seems all a bit scrappy. A bit more clarification on who does what should of been mentioned in the briefing, tut tut.

I like how every office works differently in royal mail and this should not be the case, we all work for the same company, so the same rules should apply when it comes everything. It just p***** me off that doms up and down the country are just making up their on rules just to suit the office. Posties don't have a say in the matter any more, its all do this do that, or you'll be going down the conduct code(road)!
