6 days, sixth day paid at 7.50 hours SA rate. Only way the job is viable wage wise ! Plus I view it as 5 days Mon-Fri and an early finish Saturday normally (although that looks to change soon) wish I could afford 5 days, the pocket hurts on a flat week on annual leave !

Why give RM the time, this was a deal to make life easier for posties.The fact that RM cannot cover duties without asking people too work thier day off shows they have not got enough staff. I myself do"nt do overtime,they may ask but they get F****D OFF.

I used to work my week off occasionally and do half a week occasionally. But I don't bother anymore due to increasing workload and my passion for dancing after work. Money isn't everything.

She says she's home for 4pm but doesn't say when she finishes.
P/T hours....P/T hours. :hmmmm ....and the £200 is probably after deductions....and a bit of "artistic license" :chuckle
