[maddam78]

As far as I am aware you have to complete one year to receive full pay when on the sick in the first year you get statutory sick pay

Your start date with royal mail is the start date showing on your first contract no matter how many other contracts you are given. Hope that helps

As long as there is no more than a 10 day period in break of service between first and secomd contract, your start date will be from your first temorary contract, not the following permanent

Yes, whether 12 x 1-month continuous contracts or 4 x3 etc. as long as you hit 12 months continuous you will get your final pay increase of 51p an hour and be entitled to full RM employee rights and sick pay. Except seniority of course.

Actually the rules on seniority will apply as its continuous service and not casual so it counts.

I know - I was alluding to the fact after one year you will have a hell of a long way to go before any seniority counts.

I have done 10 years and I am still at the very bottom of the pile. A few PTs are actually ahead of me.
