Questions for new role

Post by Suzieking »

Hi,
I recently had my interview for a postman with driving/collection. The post is for 28 hours per week. It was explained in my interview that the role was permanent and was to cover people on sick leave and annual leave. I just have a few questions if someone is able to answer please?

-are the 28 hours over 5 or 6 days?
-as I would be covering, they said I may be posted to different offices. I'm fine with this but, how does it work with learning all the different routes?
-how much annual leave do you get for 28 hours?

Thanks everyone.

A) Most likely 5 days, some offices have different attendance patterns like 4 day weeks, or 9 day fortnight's but the most common is 5 days from 6 Monday to Saturday.

B) Learning different routes can be stressful but usually you'll have a partner to help and you shouldn't be moved about too much to start with.

C) 22.5 days for a 5 day attendance or 101.25 hrs in RM terms.
