What's Royal Mail's policy on second jobs?

Part Time pay doesn't fix the roof on this hut nor does it by me a house for the wife and kids.

Yea but:

1. You don't get a funky polo to wear doing that

2. It takes 10 hours to bang out 2000 leaflets

3. Leafleting ain't never going to pay £42k a year :speak to the hand

1. Old postman round the corner, his house is now £650k. Old Window cleaner next door to him, his house is £650k. I want a house. How many walks you think im going to have to take out to get one of those?

2. They won't let me work RM in my Leave. I'm thinking of getting my PTS card and working on the tracks.

In our office we sign a form every year saying if we do other work, as long as you declare it you should be ok. If it’s a driving job and you drive for Royal Mail make sure you don’t go over driving hours.

You can't do leaflets unless its just standing in the street and having people ignore you. Delivering leaflets to Houses put you in direct competition with Royal Mail.

• There are restrictions on working for organisations outside of Royal Mail Group (whether you are paid or not),
whilst employed by Royal Mail. Always tell your manager if you have outside work. This could include working for
other companies.
• You must not work for a competitor of Royal Mail Group under any circumstances.
