Who is next in line?

Post by Jenny Manchester »

We had a revision for Park and Loop at our office this year the pairing was Part Timers & Full Timers just been having a conversation today with other staff members about the floaters and the question is “If you’re a full time driver floater and a full time driver walk holder leaves can that driver floater go for his/her walk as long as they are next in line seniorority wise“?

Any vacant job should go to the most senior reserve for a period not exceeding 6 months before being advertised in the orifice.
If you mean can someone drop driving and pick up a walking duty?
Depends on the orifice driving/non driving resource but technically yes.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

just to add to this point if you are in a smaller office with 20 or less staff vacancies should be advertised straight away

You have all picked duties, which you should be stuck with for 12 months. After that anyone can apply for it then it is done on seniority. Until then, well?

It was a full office resign we have all been on these duty's for three months now but a walk holder is thinking of leaving at Christmas and the floater is adamant he can go for this walk, realistically the floater don't have a walk as such so why can't he go for it that's my arguement.

i think the floater should be able to go for it but they might not get it a more senior person might get it .
