I was under the impression that part timers only get enhanced rate on pay rates once they have completed 40 hours. So if a part timer does 25 hours normal hours then 15 hours overtime , they will not get more than a full timer on 40 hours. Once 40 hours has been reached then the pay rate is enhanced. I'm sure someone will clarify if I am correct.

I cannot understand this one ? I am a fulltimer. So on a basic 8 hour day , i get 8 hours basic pay. Okay . So a partimer on say a 5 hour basic day works 3 hours overtime. Overtime is paid at a higher rate? So therefore he earns more than me? :cuppa
No,he is on the same hourly rate until he reaches 39/40 hrs,anything after that then goes to docket rate.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

The reason it looks like they are getting a higher hourly rate is the delivery supplement issue.
Any hours a part-timer works between their contracted hours and full-time hours contains an element of the delivery supplement.

Thank you POSTMAN for the reply . I could not figure out why they fill out the docket form everyday though? To me that is an overtime claim form?

No, all OT up to a full time 39hr week is paid at "ordinary" rate, the first ten hrs after that is at the "OT rate" :left: then anything more is back down to the "ordinary rate".

And remember they put through any SA money first so PTers don't even get the higher rate for that :sad:


Unless it has changes since I last did SA.
