There was a thread posted on here recently that I cannot find but said something along the lines of 'if you are on a part time contract but have been working full time hours for a set period of time you should have your hours made up'- is this correct? I believe this is a CWU agreement but correct me if I'm wrong. Is this available in writing?
Basically I'm on a 35 hour contract as an annual leave reserve but have been working full time in an SPDO for the last 5 years. It's annoying as my hours still haven't been made up and I miss out by having a lower take home rate when on a/l, bonuses/ shares etc...despite doing the exact amount of work as my colleagues. I have to book the remaining 4 hours as 'vacancy' overtime every single week.

Thanks for any advice!
This was one of the grey areas included in the recent AFGS agreement and open to various interpretations,
Basically it was employees who had continually been working hours over their contractual hours that this would be monitored after 6 months from the acceptance of this agreement for their contractual hours to be increased to reflect the hours worked in the 6 month period.

I was on a 35 hour contract doing a rural duty with a delivery span of 5 hrs 30 mins with no IPS... used to use it my advantage... would cut off on numerous occasions... leaving the OT for someone else... my DIM would plead with me to complete sometimes because of sickness... I used to say 'not today, it's raining'...
Eventually a number of us were made full-time (this was about 2 years ago, different IR climate then), but I miss those days when I could cut-off at 1pm...
You have a number of options available to you... play hard-ball and cut-off sometimes... leave them guessing on a daily basis... may or may not work... write to your DIM informing him/her you have been doing 39 hours a week for a while and as the hours are there you should be made-up... get a written response as to why they won't make you up and use this as the basis for a grievance...
Same here. I'm on a 24 hour contract and I've just started a rural job where I'm doing over 40 hours a week. Just a pain keep having to keep a note of it every day and chasing it up when it doesn't appear in your wage slip.
