But.....why do all our indoor people who have made up duties, receive the delivery supplement? Week in week out we are taking seven lots of d2d out ,while the indoor staff don't, and they still get paid the same....why ? :sad:
I married my wife for her looks, but not the one she gave me when i said i was going to be a postman.

Because it's a delivery office supplement, they get paid it for working in a delivery office, it's got nothing to do with d2d

I had 7 lots for 3 weeks in a row last month and it was murder. Only 2 this week.

I truly understand the d2d payment v indoor work issue but its over now and finished and we have to move on. :neutral:

You could say why should someone get paid a supplement when they are on a rest week or AL. Its the same thing really. :hmmmm
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

think i've had 4 lots once, but i'm sure when d2d payment was axed and replaced with the delivery supplement we were told if there was ever 5+ they would come already prepared.
i welcomed the change because before when as a leave reserve i rarely got anything because usually the duty holder wanted the lot

So why was the supplement brought in after the d2d payments were stopped ? coincidence ? :wink:

Because the money that is used to pay the Delivery Supplement comes from the money that was being used to fund the D2D payments.
It isn't a coincidence at all.

Thank the union for that....still to this day I cannot understand why the union signed the rights away to door to doors....they should if anything have been negotiating a pay rise for them....at the time....I personally ended up worse off after them agreeing to that.....shoddy shoddy work by them,the deal agreed ...completely unfair also

Couldn't we have a "stupid twats" forum where they can discuss the Delivery Supplement to their heart's content and the rest of us don't have to read their ignorant crap?

We all benefitted from D2D into workload, it's just that 4 years on some people still haven't understood that.
They probably don't understand why you do 1/6th a day either.
