D2Ds over Christmas

[stokes11eg]

my rep seems to think that we will have d2ds over pressure,but it will be on a voluntray basis if you want to deliver them.

Normally get one from charity whisc R/m deliver free of charge--that is usually voluntary.

d2d's are worth £25 a week to me.They help fill my day and in R.M. time .I just don t see the problem with them. If we had one lot a day (with pay) we would have to go to every house so no lapsing.

Aren't we meant to do them in our own time ie prepping them and not allowed to book OT if they take you over your time on delivery, as they are an "extra" payment?

Sorry to Hi-jack the thread there with that, but thanks for that link, I genuinely did not know that and I've been with RM for 10 years. This could open a huge can of worms at our place!!! Thanks again.

Don't worry about it, it's one of those things that comes up every few weeks that management always say tht D2Ds have to be done in your own time, just print off the document and show it to you DOM and then wait for the usual 'that's an old agreement and it doesn't apply anymore' but just ask him for the one to replace it.

Cheers for the responses.

Thought I'd bump this instead of making a new thread. Are we due a pro-rata bonus over Christmas then? Would help seeing as there's no D2Ds to deliver!
