Looking for experiences of others that fill a leader type role in their office. In my case, i don't quite qualify for leader allowance, but do a lot of jobs that apparently aren't seen as important enough to attract an extra payment. I look after ORA. I look after Route Manager. I look after FDS and SISO. I run collections in the evening and make sure all collections are completed, and sort any that are missed. All on the wage of an OPG, but with added stress and responsibility. I also cover manage saturdays and dual role as PHG as they have every saturday off. All a bit much some days. I enjoy the job but feel a bit overloaded at times. Is anyone else in the same boat?
If you want to be paid extra for being the managers dog’s body, apply to be a work coach or a cover manager. Those are the proper routes.
They won’t pay you extra if you are willingly doing it for free. Being a brown nose will not get you promoted. You have to apply for the job.
There really are quite a few sad old men on here. Is everything okay at home? Brown nose indeed. Grow up.
No, you grow up.
You have to apply for an actual job in order to be officially paid more and have a variation on your contract.
If you want to be a manager you have to apply for it. They are never going to requisition a cover manager role as long as they have someone doing it for free.

ORA and Route Manager should be done by a workplace coach. I don't know what FDS is but SISO should be done by a manager. For the collections you should get the OPG to OSG allowance and for the Saturday if you are doing the managers role you should get an OPG to lowest grade managers allowance.
So if your office has work place coaches they should be doing some of what you are doing and for the other stuff you should either not be doing it or being paid for doing it.
What is OSG, exactly?
I think it stands for Operational Supervisor Grade.
It's the allowance I used to get paid when I supervised collections as an OPG

These Dom support types are all the same, bag avoiding, brown nosing, lazy failed posties. Full of excuses why they can't do the job. Either go back on the walks, find another job or keep doing the managers job for them for no extra pay

It all just seems alot of things to look after when there's no payment for them. Why would anyone do it? Can I genuinely ask if you're on delivery? There's no way ANYONE in our office would want to take all that extra on board as they wouldn't have the time with the current state our office has been on a daily basis and have been for quite a while. The only way someone would do it would be to try and get off the walks for a cushty number

Precisely.
Perhaps the OP is seeking to remove themselves from the mix when the ODM is rolled out after a decision by OFCOM.
It won’t. Everyone of OPG grade remains in the mix.
