Notice of changing your duty

Post by scar_face »

If u are full time relief (vacant duty cover till New Year) but been on a round for at least 3 months, can a DOM just take you off it and put you on another round next day by telling you at the end of your shift the day before please?

I am not sure about cover duties, but the Flexibility Agreement states that. 'This is not about not knowing what you are doing from one day to the next'. I believe that they should be giving 2 weeks notice.

Sounds like she's a reserve so yes,they can chop and change them willy nilly.

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.
