Don't do SA myself, but I believe people doing Xmas SA in my MC get breaks which are 10 minutes less than the equivalent for OT.

I know you don't get paid for breaks on SA but depending on the hrs worked you are surely entitled to one.

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.

They are going to expect staff to sign off and take a break before starting duties!
