Tea Break for P/Ts over Xmas period?

Post by PostieWithTheMostie! »

We're working as many hours as F/Ts these last 2 weeks and been told we're not allowed a Tea-Break as the 1st part of our day is O/T for Prep/IPS then the 2nd part of the shift is delivery with an hour O/T added for Extended Delivery.. What are the rules around this Practice and if we're being put out where are the CWU in all of this as thats us working over 7hrs a day non stop and by my reconing we should be able to add a Meal Relief to the Docket as well.

There shouldn't be any question about it. You work F/T hours your entitled to the same break times as a full timer.

You are entitled to the break that relates to your attendance time including overtime not your conditioned hours..

From the way forward agreement...
Conditioned attendances extended by overtime (or by SA on Sunday) consecutive with the beginning or end will attract additional breaks if the entitlement for the total attendance (overtime plus conditioned hours), in the table above, is greater than the breaks already scheduled during the conditioned attendance. For example, an 8 hour conditioned attendance with 4 hours overtime would attract an extra 20 minutes (i.e. 60 minus 40). In most cases, particularly if the additional break is for only 10 minutes, it should be taken between the period of overtime and the normal conditioned attendance.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Management are getting soooooo low.
Any managers on the site want to comment?

Lost count how many times i've asked for them to comment on this and that,what are they worried about. :roll:

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.
