PMSL, yes it'll be at least a warning, did he drive it or realise at the pump?
He drove it and it just came to a shuddering stop.

He's caused a lot of damage to the engine, big warning, depending on his previous record and whether he's FT he may even get sacked over it but I would expect a serious warning.

He is a good lad, never off will do anything for anybody full timer, not had a warning before thats why he is so worried because of the Royal Mail senario of getting rid of full timers policy, poor lad I guess he will not do it again :cuppa

Nightmare. Made worse when I got to the walk. Driver opened the doors to the van for us to find the tyre had come off the HCT. Managed to get it down the ramp. Eventually got the tyre back on.... only to find the one on the other side had come off. :arrrghhh Very late finish and very tired after a hot day.

It's a genuine mistake but in planet RM they don't do 'mistakes', he should be ok if he's got a clean record but expect a warning.......unless his rep is really really good.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

After doing his delivery today he was told he will be interviewed next Monday and bring your rep if in the Union - he is not in the Union so I said I would go in the office with him he wants me to!

The rep will still go in if he wants them too, probably best to get them in because they know all the rules...............and might be time to join the union :Very Happy

So my payslip came today. The amount I'm receiving is staying the same for my Saturday work, but my pay rate has decreased from ~£404 to £383. What's going on there?

Light for a Friday finished early, which considering the amount I have 'flexed' the other way this week was very welcome. Shame summer seems to have finished already.
