Been told by the business reply/p.o box person that all firms mail must be taken out between xmas and new year if they haven't paid for a keepsafe as the auditor may come checking!
I told the dom that everyone should be made aware of this on Xmas eve in case of any conduct code issues arising from this i.e helping out firms with unpaid for keepsafes!
This has never been an issue previously.

Yeah I expect that technically they are supposed to fill in the application form but they never do.

Re: Firms shut at Xmas - no keepsafe
Best thing to do is take it out............and then bring it back when they're closed, do that for the 3/4 days and then hand the responsibility over to your manager, remember it's their job to think, not ours

Re: Firms shut at Xmas - no keepsafe
So i'm guessing you guys don't do the form filling or is it the letters sent out to firms to fill in xmas closing times thingie then?

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.
