Boxing Day and Christmas cards?

Post by Sci_Dog »

Is there anything in the law that says 100% Royal Mail can not make us work the Saturday which Boxing Day falls on?

Also can I still expect my Christmas card and more importantly my stamps (LoL!) from Adam (MONEY BAGS AND THE 2ND HIGHEST PAID GOVERNMENT APPOINTED CE IN THE UK) Crozier??

Boxing day will be a "Non service day" and so will the following Monday...

In most cases this day comes under the "No claw back" agreement. So if you should be off on either the Saturday or the Monday you will not get a days credit.

Not sure whether the above regarding the claw back is still in position..

Have a Happy Christmas this year if you can afford one!!

What would you want stamps for? No-one send letters any more. Personally I always use DSA. :left:

Do you not get the "you must not sell them talk"? No wonder you are always in trouble with your DOM. He will probably send the Inland Revenue round now.
