Got over 2 boxes of polling cards today. Wanted to finish on time today so didn't prep any. They now all have to go out tuesday. If tuesday is a heavy day and I go over my finish time can I claim o/t as well as the poll card money?
What have I done to deserve this?

Grow a pair , if you go over book it.
If he isnt paying O/T cut off instead, polling cards or not
He will have to then pay someone else to do your cut off

not according to my DOM its one or the other if you go over its bad luck so no OT , and kept in on the IPS as long as they want as they know you will stay out . from what i can tell its down to how much of an arse your Dom is . so i would check with yours before you leave , and good luck
Surely there must be a company policy on this. The dom lottery system, depending how much of an arse yours is, hardly seems fair. There is every chance tuesday will be busy and push me into o/t, even without the poll cards. Why should I do the extra for free?

Not unless it is agreed locally, Nationally NO, hope you worked to your time today as your post suggests because they will come after you on this, if Tue was to be your day off , how would you feel, at the end of the day NO ONE should be expected to work past their time, end of, unless they want too :wave :wave

These cards are sent out by the local authority to everyone elligible to vote. We as council tax payers have to pay for them being printed, processed and delivered when they are completely unneccesary because it tells you....YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE THIS CARD WITH YOU TO VOTE....FFS :crazy:

Yes worked my full hours saturday. Is the payment made for prep and delivery of the cards or just delivery? If prep is included what happens if one person preps and another delivers? Should the payment then be split 50/50?

We usually just count up how many on the 2 rounds & split the figure equally between both of us. One wins, one looses as one of you will deliver more than the other. Should be a standard payment across the country though.

I'm part-time so will probably only deliver them. Just want to know what I'm entitled too.
