Overtime confusion

dougfunny892 · Post by **dougfunny892** » 15 Jun 2019, 17:33

Hi, my round has a lot of new builds on it and has not been sorted out it yet. Subsequently, I'm going an hour over my time. When I went to book it today a fellow postie came in to sign the sheet and told me he was getting paid till 5, 4 hours overtime. He said because he had done just short of 2 rounds. I don't know what he had done to achieve this but to me it is irrelevant. He finished at the same time as me and should be paid 1 hours overtime or I should be paid 4 hours. On a different subject, I thought they are using PDA actuals, the rural drivers were going out at 8am for a 1 o clock finish, 5 hours for a bread tray of mail?

Doing extra work (rounds) on overtime is negotiated, extended delivery isn’t

Why its the same? Overtime is overtime. I dont see any difference.

Blue eyed boys ‘negotiate’ special terms for themselves. Untouchable they seem to be. Same happened to me last year. Spoke to manager and he shrugged his shoulders. That’s when I stopped going over. Then you end up arguing with managers every day.

Because if people got 4hrs for every hour extended delivery they do people would take the p*ss.

You must have poor negotiating skills then.

So if i go into the office and say i want 4 hours and they refuse is it a discrimination case?

If that’s what you want to call me, it’s all in the timing. You wait until you know they are struggling to get a duty covered then pounce. They best I’ve had is 4:30hr for a row extra. Took me less than 30 minutes

Nope, the other guy has done nearly 2 walks. Why should you get the same for doing one walk? Not his fault you’re slower

Even if he was the fastest in the office and i was the slowest its irrelevant he went an hour over so did i. Its discrimination.
