Re: water allowance
If you have kept the receipt and you have a rare sympathetic dom then I would say to give him the receipt along with an explanation. If you get nowhere with that then put in a grievance. RM pay mileage for private cars to those who use them so I dont see why they wont pay for an essential like water.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

Re: water allowance
I have enough problem getting the right pay never mind trying to claim for water. However it would be good since I tend to drink between 2-4 litres during my duty whatever the weather hot or cold.

Re: water allowance
I know it might be a long shot, but have you tried to get your dim to buy crates of bottled water out of first line fix money ?
In the past, we've used our's to buy tea, coffee and milk (taxman stopped that one after a month), and even sunglasses !
It's gotta be worth a try ......

I used to use my car and I got pouching off allowance which to me is the same as anybody getting the bus home. I didn't actualy get money for taking the letters out.Broxi51 wrote:If you have kept the receipt and you have a rare sympathetic dom then I would say to give him the receipt along with an explanation.

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.

And if you can, freeze them the night before, so they are ice cold when you need them, not luke warm.andybfc wrote:Fill up bottles before you go out and put one in every bag.

Re: water allowance
We were provided with a bottle each if we wanted them this week. The only problem is that we have nowhere to fill them, the only taps we have leave us no room to fit the bottle under and the drinking fountain, which barely trickles should be renamed to water garden due to what's growing in there.POSTMAN wrote:Your manager should be aware that RM issue water bottles,have a word with him.
