Re: Long Term Contract...
Not quite sure why you are asking that, your time with RM is totally irrelevant to having a temporary or permanent contract.scirocco'r' wrote:How long have you been with RM.
If you do a job too well, you’ll get stuck with it.

Re: Long Term Contract...
you are not the norm then... its very unlikely to get a perm contract within a year, I thought royal mail only employed new starters on temp contracts...Rudolph_Hucker wrote:I've been with RM since January this year and have one.bigal383 wrote:i think its quite a good question how long have you been with rm? iam to awaiting perm contract

Re: Long Term Contract...
The chap that started a couple of weeks after me has one, also the majority of the people on our induction course were on permanent contracts. I can't remember the precise number but about 7 or 8 out of 12.Stella102 wrote:you are not the norm then... its very unlikely to get a perm contract within a year, I thought royal mail only employed new starters on temp contracts...Rudolph_Hucker wrote:I've been with RM since January this year and have one.bigal383 wrote:i think its quite a good question how long have you been with rm? iam to awaiting perm contract

Me too
I was taken on as a Part Timer (20 hours) with a one year fixed contract. About 6 weeks later another contract was posted through my door.............. I thought they must have made a change to the small print in my original contract, but upon closer inspection I discovered that I was being given a new permanent contract.
I am no longer a number :-)

Re: Long Term Contract...
well then...i think the company is giving out more perm contracts to keep employers from leaving it makes you feel more worthwhile if your contract is perm in relation to temp.
