Many thanks

Just to clarify on this in case it helps anyone else.

My working pattern is as follows:

Work Weds to following Tues (7 days)
Off Weds to Fri (3 days)
Work Sat to following Fri (7 days)
Off Sat to Tues (4 days)

And it just repeats this cycle.

How many hours a week are you contracted to work?

If that is a part-time contract on RM wages you need to run as far away from that sh*t as possible.

Hi I'm thinking of joining and seen a 40 hours job that says about Mon-Sun working and earliest start 08:00 and latest finish 20:00 , looking at that shift pattern I don't actually think thats too bad but what kind of hours are a shift ? Is it job and knock and sometimes have to take stuff back out when done or they run you ragged for 8.5 hours also is this a block of earlies and a block of lates ?

Hi, again sorry for the late reply its probably too late now but ill respond anyway. The hours have changed a couple of times but nothing drastic. At the moment we tend you do 1300 till 1930. Sundays are a little bit different about 1100 till supposedly 1930 (but always finish a few hours earlier).

We only ever attempt each delivery once, this is just how the PDA is set up to work. I never finish past my finish time as getting overtime pay off RM seems impossible even if you do more hours.

Sometimes I finish early, sometimes I have to bring parcels back to the depot because they give use far too many, all they seem to care about is how many you take out not how many that come back.
