Sunday 26th December(Boxing Day)

[Rmurphy91]

My manager has told me that I have to work Sunday or Tuesday 28th. I can choose between the two I’ve been told. Can anyone confirm if I have to work either? I’ve spoken to my union rep and have been advised that I would have to work the Sunday as it’s part of my shift. I work Wednesday to Sunday every week and have Monday and Tuesday off.

Any ideas?

Thanks

No, it's all voluntary.

100% voluntary!!! They are trying to have you over.

Were you employed to work on Sundays in other words is it in your contract.

Yes My shift is to work Wednesday to Sunday. I’ve just spoke to HR after querying it with my DOM and they’ve said if it’s part of your shift you have to work it. Shocked

HR may not have read the agreement yet. You don't have to work it even if contracted, it's in the agreement for peak.

Well Saturday is part of your shift, you working that as well?

Not much I can do… my union rep, manager, DOM and HR all told me I have to work. Dunno if anyone else has had the same experience with the Sunday

3.3 Sunday 26th December is not a bank holiday. Royal Mail has agreed with Ofcom
that it is a non USO day so there will be no USO collections or deliveries. However,
there will be a requirement to collect, process and deliver Covid-19 test kits, as well
as collection from POL outlets. Where service requires attendance on this day,
people attending will be paid at the appropriate scheduled attendance rate. These
additional attendances during this weekend will be on a voluntary basis with work
covered utilising the full range of resourcing options. In line with the approach agreed
in 2020 it is agreed that in order to support the operation and secure resourcing is in
place, both parties have agreed that in addition to the agreed National pay rates for
attendance, a one off lump sum will also be applicable for all CWU grades within
Royal Mail that volunteer and attend work on Sunday 26th December 2021 only. This
is in recognition for attendance on this date given the critical services related to Covid
test kits on behalf on the DHSC.

Ring your area rep and tell them to put a rocket up your office reps backside.

If you want to work it - you book ALL hours worked as overtime, regardless of contract. If you don't, just don't turn up, it's as simple as that really. They are going to look really stupid if they try and discipline you and realise they're wrong.
