Hours we work

Post by calpsy »

This has been going on for a while now but I have managed to handle it as im fast :left:

Im a 25 hr contract so 5 hrs a day . I need it broke down to hours needed to work , break , undeliverables back to P.O etc .

I come in in the mornings and have to finish putting up the mail the lazy arses couldnt be bothered to do as they wanted out .

Now I have to get home and get one of the kids to nursery so I need to know the earliest i can finish .

Its got nothing to do with using cars or being fast or getting one over on anyone .............. just need a straight forward answer .

You get 30 mins meal relief,the 4-30 is then down to RM.
You've been on the site long enough to know how the 4-30 bit works.

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.

Eh?
You could take your break at the end to finish early(1-30) some managers don't like that as there may be dead time in the office.
Your 4-30 is your work hrs then you have your 30mins for meal break.

The earliest you could be expected to work is 1.30PM.

Your last letter should reflect the time it takes to get back to the office.

If you have no intention to return back to the office its 1.30PM dead on although I would take a meal relief and finish at 2PM.
(use it or lose it).

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Depends where you pouch off ( in street or back at office) and how long this takes.
E.G. If it takes you 15mins to pouch off, your last letter will be 1-15 without a break.

Just take away the amount of time to pouch off, either at PO or DO. You should know the drill FFS
