so far so good...

Post by abbocop »

well, exactly as the title suggests, my first 2 days as a Postie have been great! it's so good to finally be out working again! had my trainer with me yesterday and thursday, but today is my first day out on my own, but i think i'll be OK. just a quick question, i have a holiday booked in a couple of weeks, and i was told that they will honour it, will i get paid for it, as i am only on a temporary Contract?
thanks for all the help previously! :Very Happy
Walk on with hope in your heart.

Moving on,can someone help him with the holiday pay query.
I am guessing that the answer is a no though.

Where were you when you were s**t.

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.

If you're a Royal Mail employee on a fixed term contract you will be paid for your holidays however if you leave the business before you've accrued the amount of holidays you've used...you'll have to pay them back.
So if you have 2 weeks you'll have to make it to around the 6 month mark to cover it.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Glad your enjoying the job so far :Very Happy

Just take your time on your own and dont rush when actually reading the addresses at the letterbox to avoid miss-deliveries. :wink:
