unusual ??? logging of overtime

Post by centenaryman »

notice now on several occasions our d.o.m and pitpull on a leash give out overtime,,,,but when u go in to sign for they ask you to sign on a different day than u worked,,,,,,i.e worked last thursaday (was my day off) when i came in again friday to sign for working the day off they asked me to fill it in on wednesdays sheet? found it a bit strange is this mornal or am i letting ideas run away in my head LOL

To be fair your rep should be onto this,it's giving out false figures for the office.

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.

Falsification of company records. Have nothing to do with it. Sign only for the day you actually did overtime, otherwise you can be done for aiding and abetting their scam.

And presumably YOU have signed "I declare that I have worked the Overtime claimed above. ..... I understand that providing false information on this form may amount to gross misconduct which could result in disciplinary or criminal proceedings. In case of disciplinary prceedings this may result in dismaissal." :shock:
