Extended Delivery

Post by dougfunny892 »

There may be an element of cutting off your nose to spite your face about this but i think we shouldn't stay out and extend. My break in the morning finishes at 8.30 am. On wed thurs fri i finish at 14.10pm thats 5 hours 40 mins without a break. I suggest that all staff should have to return to the office at that time for their 20 minute break. Even if you have only say 10 mins to complete. Then because of travelling time that 10 mins becomes 30 minutes. This will really piss management off as if you have a partner as well the 40 mins saved will go out the window. Extended is overtime pure and simple not semi skimmed overtime. Bite the bullett and stop worrying about what time you finish and give RM the true reflection.

Sorry but are you saying that say with my walk I should push my trolley back to the office have a break and then push it back ? I could be thirty minutes from the office, thirty minute walk back 20 min break then a thirty minutes walk back, an hour and twenty minutes.

Start and finish point within a mile of DO. Think that's the ruling. Of course the furthest point could be 5 miles from DO. In theory.
