surely this is covered by the flexibility "agreement"

half an hour per week ?

is there a link to the flexibility "agreeement"?
Variation of hours – Where necessary, for example when traffic volumes are unexpectedly high or resourcing issues arise, individuals may be asked and may themselves request to vary their duty times by up to 30 minutes on a swings and roundabouts basis. Again, individual circumstances will be taken into account and total weekly contractual hours would not change.
The agreement as quoted above is voluntary (hence the word asked) and to my mind is not retrospective in its application. How can they ask you if you want to finish 30 minutes later in the week when they have not checked its OK for you to finish 30 minutes earlier on a Tuesday.

The agreement P&M07, of which flexibility is part of, is in downloads, in the stickies section. http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 36&t=12462" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You realise that the FLEXIBILITY agreement only applies when they want to bend you over the table and give it to you, you know where :whistle
