I posted in the Mail centre section but got no reply so i will give it a crack in here...

Having been leave reserve now for 2 years, most of the time i got 40 hour duties, but over the last few months i have only been getting 27 hour duties. Last week i was placed on this duty again 27 hours, even though people who have joined RM after me are getting 40 hours! some are on 40 hour nights plus 15 hours o/t because of the pressure period. Last Sunday night my daughter was taken into hospital so i had the stress and worry! of being at my daughters bedside while the doctors tendered to a heart defect.

So yesterday i returned to work to be greeted with why haven't you rang since last Wednesday?, not an ounce of compassion not even a how is she! NOTHING! just why haven't you rang!. I went on to explain that i was stressed out, with all what was happening to my daughter and it just slipped my mind.

Anyway the duty i have been put on is like this Mon 1400-2010pm tues 1345-18-15 wed 1330- 1830 thur 1330=1830 fri 1345-1830, so the manager gave me a couple of special leave forms to fill out for the Monday plus a lieu day form for the Tuesday then another special leave form for Wednesday - friday, when i looked at the forms she has put down for a lieu day on the Tuesday which will generate me the massive amount of 4hours 10 minutes, she also said i only have 1 lieu day left.

Two questions

1) Why didn't she give me the lieu day for the Monday which would have paid 5hours 40mins.
2) I have my leave print out which says i have 1.5 days remaining, will 4hours 10 mins count as a full days lieu?


Seriously getting f___ed off with how i am being treated tbh

i'm not 100% sure with royal mail but at all the places i've worked, if you are contracted to work 8hrs a day a days holiday is 8hrs if you are contracted to work 5hrs a day then a days holiday is 5hrs and so on. it's based on the amount of hours you are contracted to do not how many hours you actually do.

like bandit said it is based on the amount of hours you do so if you do 6 hrs a day then thats what you get.
