First Week as a Postie : Views

[Pmn]

So do you know about cutting off if you don't want to work over your finishing time?

Do you know the procedure for claiming overtime?

Do you know how long your break time is?

Have you thought about joining the union?

1# I understand it... however unless i have some reason to finish early im happy to work on as i need the money
2# i understand the procedure for claiming overtime
3# i dont know how long my break is/should be due to my contract being on a part time basis
4# i have joined... just waiting for written confirmation

No 3 - Attendance length total breaks probable pattern

Less than 2 hours 30 minutes none (a 10 min grace break should be provided if work permits)
2 hours 30 to 3 hours 10 mins 10
3 hours 1 to 3 hours 30 15 mins 15
3 hours 31 to 4 hours 59 20 mins 20
5 hours to 7 hours 30 mins 30
7 hours 1 to 8 hours 59 40 mins 40 or 20 + 20
9 hours to 10 hours 59 50 mins 30 + 20
11 hours to 12 hours 59 60 mins 40 + 20 or 30 + 30
13 hours or longer 70 mins 40 + 30

No 4 - it took about 2 months for me to get confirmation, but you are a member once you sign the paper work.

Didn't realise it went up with the number of hours. Thanks TBT.
