Post by postiewhite »

Im on annual leave this week. My contract is 30 hrs but over the last few weeks ive worked around 36 on average. Is there something in place to get paid more for this week off, if so do I need to apply for it and im I already too late in doing so.?!!

No this does not exist
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

I may have this wrong but I was under the impression it was a new law and it goes on the average earnings for the last 12 weeks. I have read a couple of articles on this and it does mention it on the .Gov website. Like I say I may have this wrong and it may only be certain companies that do it.

Check the links that barrow has posted, there are also other LTB's on the subject in the union room.
I will be doing a new forum on this shortly where everything is together.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
