Extended Delivery OT is Back:)

Post by *The Lone Postie* »

For last few months we was'nt allowed to claim extended,but since we had Health & Safety in few weeks ago we're made to take our full meal reliefs.So of course that can make us later midweek.Mon/Tues i would bank any time i owed em for finishing early and on the later days that would just cover me from booking OT all week.Lo and behold this week i got paid my 3h extended and am £20 up from doing the job properly,hope this lasts:-p

:shock: Why were you banking hours? ... issues over banking/annualised hours were part of Phase 4, of which RM failed to reach agreement with CWU.

Cept we have to work all our time now if we're back early,either to sort or take a few roads out of a round that was'nt covered.So now there's nothing to bank so it does'nt matter.

Do the job properly and you shouldn't have any hours to bank. Not in our DO anyway, most walks are probablly 4 1/2 hrs if done properly but still people running round.

Silly me, I forgot! Breaching or non-compliance with Agreements when in RM's favour is being flexible, however, quite the reverse reaction from RM if it does not work in their favour ... hence the vigorous application of phases 2 and 3 and the blind spot that is phase 4!
