Reserves being sent to other delivery offices

[robbertwhitton]

We had a classic on Thursday one of our spares went to another office and she wasn't needed ? So phones our office back says am not needed, office is about 4 mile away and our DIM says ok just go home??????? and we end up lapsing 2 duties F@@@ SAKE WHAT IS GOING ON

Brilliant! Said it before,you really can’t make this stuff up,happens with us and then he goes to another office and throws in d2d,or they just need his van!

The latter. RM responsibility to transport you there and back within your duty time. Never use your own transport even if you have the relevant business insurance cover. Always start from your own DO then go from there to the other office.

This is wrong. They have to supply the transport but you have to go over 30 mins each way for it to be included in your duty time. That’s reserves, part time or full time.

on some paper or computer screen probably


Danielson - why is it wrong? Where do you get the 30mins rule from?

Our area rep who was trying to argue against it pal. It’s in black and white I believe.

This is nonsense. You start and finish at your own office at the contracted times. Travelling forms part of that working day.

Not quite sure what you are saying. RM are not going to have an official policy of posties having to work an hour unpaid if they are told to go to a different DO for operational reasons. The correct method is for the postie to start work at their usual DO at their duty start time and arrive back at their usual DO at or before the end of their duty time. One newer postie in our office likes doing this because all the other DOs in our area have much shorter walks with fewer loops.

Celgar is entirely right. Also Never use your own car. It's up to them to get you to whatever office they want to farm you out to.
