When will lapsing stop?

Post by kentpostie »

We were supposed to stop lapsing weeks ago but there seems to be no end to it!
Are we only going to stop over Christmas or have other offices stopped already?

When hell freezes over? :evil/mad

Seriously though in the area I work a lot of offices do not lapse, it seems to be only certain offices where a core of staff continue to come in far too early thus creating time for lapsing by running around, I work at one of those offices ffs.

it stops when it is the same or above your model week.....your rep and manager should know a couple of weeks in advance on when it can stop.....the model week should have been agreed in the revision process....

ask to see the figures...ask your rep what the agreed model week is.....there is no reason for you not to see it....in reality when the revisions took place the model week was chosen on the knowledge of a higher week would offer more hours in the office but more chance of lapsing, going lower would have less lapsing....the problem was (I believe) it was very hit and miss in alot of delivery offices.

Model week has nothing to do with it anymore - we've been in disagreement over it for ages but guys still do it.
