Absorbing Hours & Covering for One Another


Aims

To jointly identify/implement genuine opportunities to absorb outdoor and/or indoor workload where time exists within approved attendance times/normal paid work hours.
To provide sensible options for the business to take advantage of opportunities to increase efficiency when workload declines, or there are absences.
To put in place regular and robust consultation/dialogue between managers and CWU representatives in respect of the resourcing arrangements.
To ensure quality of service is not adversely affected by any new arrangements.
To reduce the reliance on causal and agency staff wherever possible on an ongoing basis
To give people the opportunity to cover for one another or swap duties providing there is no additional cost to the business, to reduce absence and assist with domestic situations etc.
To provide the appropriate training so that employees are multi-skilled and able to work more flexibly.
To create a working environment where employees, CWU reps and managers feel valued and motivated.
To provide a better work life balance for employees.

Last year our office got in the region of £500 in 50/50 bonuses for absorbing duties.

We have been told 50/50 is now over and we will be doing it for nothing from now on.
Anybody know anything about that?
