Hours

Post by alexo »

Wherever you work make sure especially if your delivering in different areas write down dates - time you start and time you finsh and make sure you get too sign on and off no matter how early or late !!!!.
If your clever try and get in early and book in straight away.
Also as angard pay in cycles work to the nearest 15mins with your meal break (40 mins) but still book it.
I have been a postman and a casual so if you need advice please pm anytime.
Good luck - everyone and don't let them get you down.
Now you can see why the royal mail is a mess.

Most shifts seem to be 8hrs but with meal relief taken off.So you will only get paid for 7-30/7-15 depending on how much meal relief you get,which for some strange reason differs from depot to depot.

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.
