Wallington week

[Skifrops]

we have had the wallington weeks in our office for approx 6 years now and i would never go back to having 1 day off a week.yes you can work your week if you want.i try and space my annual leave around my wallington weeks so im off 1 week every month or so.
as for the 1 in 4 saturdays off in the shite agreement we have suggested that we have extra wallington week or 2 to compensate not doing the 1 in 4 idea.

That 5 weeks will involve working 5 hours less so how will it become a harder slog

[elverly]

I bet most dont do the full 48hrs they will soon no job and finish back to the office here yer go boys this has got to go out off you trott you will work all your contracted hours

[feduppostie]

I do it and do all my hours

and it is great with my a/l I get 14 weeks a year

grab it with both hands and hang on :-)

don't forget with our wonderful new delivery supplement that means 14 weeks d2d payments without doing any

Yes but because it is now a 6 day product you are actually delivering the very same amount as everybody else.
And.....as you will be working more saturdays you are more likely to get caught with the day specific saturday D2D.
but i do agree with you the system has it's merits.

[feduppostie]

very true fishy

but i'd still rather have the 14 weeks off a year than 1 odd day a week without d2d

and don't be silly our office have been assured that sat specific d2d will never happen

sadly most of them believe it

[feduppostie]

oh and our union reps decided with management that d2d is a 5 day a week product in our office

no they didn't ask us!

local agreement and all that

D2D isn't subject to local agreement.
If you want to take 6 days then you take 6 days,that's the spec.
Tell both of them to stick their cosy little agreement up their a**e.

[feduppostie]

yeah kinda gonna do it my way anyway

but they still insist on colouring my frame for 5 days ( which clashes with the colours on the frame to make it easier to throw in but hey ho it must be a good idea they thought of it)

[floydy]

Thanks for replies, a good few in our office are intereted

[demon]

at least you get a week to recover from the slog not just a day a week to recover as royal mail like to give the tuseday off on a rotation day and the can change that day off with 24 hour notice were they carnt change the week off

The DOM wants to get rid of wallington weeks in our office. Not recognised by Royal Mail according to him. I think he just likes to **** us off

[Pinky 1]

Its got to be recognised by Royal Mail, it's been going on for years
Anyone got a download for this agreement ?
