PT to full time ..new contract query

[nuns]

Part time to full time , does any terms alter now apart from the hours ?

If transfer to different office do you have take new starters contract?

The payout from the strikes ,if you get made full time before September will you get full payout not pro rata

If your full time (37hrs) on 4th August then you get the full amount from everything i have seen.

Not quite sure on this but you should get a updated contract to state new contracted hours at the very least.

I don't believe you will get moved onto the new starters contracts (ie the monthly paid ones) as you are just increasing your hours not starting afresh

As to question 3 I'd guess and it is a guess, I don't know, but I reckon you might get the full payment according to your contract at the time of payment, as I say just a guess, I know it's not the same thing but when we used to get made up to full time temporarily for December (actual full-time not the difference paid in overtime) that triggered the full Xmas bonus.

Part-time to Full-time

In relation to the move from part-time to full-time hours, Stuart MacDonald, IR Director has confirmed the following:

“I am writing to give confirmation that we have agreed to deal with the ‘Part Time to Full Time’ topic separately, therefore further discussions will be scheduled in line with our normal national procedures.

For clarity, this means that Royal Mail will in the meantime honour existing agreements and the status quo will apply.”

This is clear the status quo will continue to apply; therefore, those on the old terms and conditions maintain these in the event they move from part-time to full-time or increase their contracted hours for that matter.

Internal Transfers

We have been made aware that in some areas of the country RMG are using the following policy:

BAU Internal Transfers are where employees apply for vacancies through Success Factors, and the most senior internal applicant is successful. New vacancies are advertised on new terms, so we are unable to progress the BAU internal transfers. Therefore, there is an exception process which means they would remain on existing terms (e.g. moving due to family circumstances) and those that fall under this category should be progressed through HRBP (policy shown from attached Transfers Guide).

There is no longer a transfer list therefore members who want to either increase their hours and/or move to another office have to apply for those internal jobs via ‘Success factors’ meaning they are applying for jobs which are being advertised on new terms and conditions. This is a contradiction that has to be addressed as does the exemption process and this matter will be raised with RMG immediately. Reports have also been received of transfers being blocked in certain locations and this is completely inappropriate given the number of vacancies which currently exist. We ask Branches and Representatives to raise these cases through the IR Framework.
