As with delivery staff costs, MC`s wont pay for early or afternoon staff to attend.
My MC does have staff in on OT on early, middle and late attendances on Bank Holidays as we
recieve International Inward Foreign mail 24/7.
Mount Pleasant will have about 180 staff in on the main processing attendance 0900-1700 on Good Friday.
And about 140 in on the main processing attendance 0900-1700 on Easter Monday.
They have moved the attendance times from 1000-1800 as there is no despatch after 1500.
In the past we have usually had about 200-260 in on the main processing attendance, but this
has been reduced because Bank Holiday collections have been ceased, but not by as much as I thought
it would be - we only had 70 in on Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

Why would they start working on Good Friday, they don't during the rest of the year?
