Hey guys,
I'm due to start as a Christmas Casual very soon and I was wondering how long it typically lasts. Are you kept on until Christmas or does it go beyond then? Or it completely depends on how busy your delivery office is?
Thanks!

It entirely depends on the local and national situation.
When I started as a casual we all finished on Christmas Eve.
But if lockdown happens, as postal workers we are exempt, and they may keep some on if there is an upsurge in parcels.
Also keep an eye on the local area, if DOs are struggling they may keep people on to help out.
