Extended delivery round up or down ?
When you do extended delivery on your round , say 1 hour and 10 minutes do you :-
1/ round it up to 1 hour 30 minutes
2/ book 1 hour and carry 10 mins over to the next day and add it to that.
3/ put the exact time down
Only reason I ask is that people in my delivery office all say one of these
1/ round it up to 1 hour 30 minutes
2/ book 1 hour and carry 10 mins over to the next day and add it to that.
3/ put the exact time down

Whatever I agree with the manager before I leave the office, or the exact time if its caused by an unavoidable and unseen circumstance before departure.eastie wrote:Whem you do extended delivery say 1 hour and 10 minutes do you

Re: Extended delivery round up or down ?
Whatever the managers is going to pay me, by my reckoning, if i cut off 1hrs work it will cost him 2-3 hrs to get someone to do it, so I usually get 1.5 - 2hrs for iteastie wrote:When you do extended delivery on your round , say 1 hour and 10 minutes do you :-

Re: Extended delivery round up or down ?
Our DOM doesn't sort it out beforehand and we wouldnt know anyway until we finished how long it would take anyway .
In our office we write it down when we leave the office after our round after we have brought all our stuff back to the cage .
The DOM is always gone home anyway.

We generally round our's up to the next 1/4hr, so we would book 1 hour 15 min in your case.eastie wrote:When you do extended delivery on your round , say 1 hour and 10 minutes do you :-

Without pre-authorisation all you should book is the time it takes...to the minute.

Amazing, here we have a company that has managers that in one hand refuse/fail to pay overtime and in the other there are managers paying 2-3 hours overtime for less time worked.

Re: Extended delivery round up or down ?
In my office you have to estimate what OT you are going to need and then when you're finished, you book whatever it takes you, keep it really simple and you'll not get into trouble if some manager decides you're trying to defraud RM.

Oh, it's with the lino's blessing ! He wants all extended overtime rounded to the next 1/4 hr, so when he totals it for the daily office amount,fishtank wrote:Without pre-authorisation all you should book is the time it takes...to the minute.
it's easier to add up
..... and no, he's not an ex-postman, he's a college graduate

My lino works in a parallel universe where time stands still.
I always do the rounding up for him and have to check and re-check my hours are correct.
