Vehicle Check Times....

[Hitcher]

is the vehicle check times still valid or is there a new schedual. At my office full timers get 10 mins a day for daily checks and 20 mins for weekly checks. I am on a 30hour contract and drive a transit van and only get 5mins a day for daily check and no weekly check time. The p&L duties get 10 mins a day and two 20 mins (40 mins) a week for weekly checks.

Pro-rata time checks?

Ask them which 2 wheels you should check out of the 4.

Makes no difference if you P/T or F/T the time allocated for van checks are the times... If you don't do them you will be responsible if something goes wrong as a result of you not doing them correctly .. If your manager refuses you the correct time to do these checks get your reps onto it and make a formal complaint to cover your back.
I'm not 100% but im sure the checks have something to do with RM operating license

many thanks for input, had a chat with manager, he does not understands about the weekly check, he thinks its to keep the vehicle clean. Not going to have yet an other argument with him, I just said I do not mind who does the weekly check but it has to be done. He is now commited to have a weekly check done of the vehicle, when is an other issue.
