I don't think you get a shift allowance as such,just a different hourly rate depending on what times you work...

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Doesn't that only apply to Royal Mail staff. Angard have different basic pay rates per shift rather than a basic level for all which is then topped up with shift allowances - or at least that's how I read their posts.

Madam78 says she's on 3 month temp contract so therefore she should have temp contract with Royal Mail.
