2 questions I need help with - uniform + pay
1. So, I'm wondering. I have to order the uniform but only after a certain amount of weeks. I just ring up + just wait? :)
2. Rate of pay. I'm working part-time, but I'm wondering how to pay is set out for 25 hours a week. This so say this is what it says an example... "Your starting pay will be at the rate of £320 per week (pro rata for part time)". So how do I go about working my actual rate of pay, and what is brought home each week? Its not that helpful. :/
Cheers Opia23

Get your manager to phone up and you wont have a problem .
Pro rata as far as I can make out for 25 hours is divide the £320 by 40 which is £8 and then multipy by 25 which is £200 . 40 is the full time hours and 25 is part time . Hope thats simple enough . Its how I work it out . Good Luck .

Re: 2 questions I need help with - uniform + pay
Uniform, I am fairly sure that at the induction I filled in a form for my sizes and when I was given a temporary contract, as opposed to casual, the uniform was ordered by the manager from the form I had previously filled in.

So obviuously I've not listened... because I've not had one.smelly_cat_lady wrote:Have you not had your induction yet or were you not listening?

Steady on now - Put those words together and you'll give them the idea that we should Pay for Uniform.

I think I read somewhere once that DHL drivers have to pay for their uniform. Considering that they make them wear a nauseous combination of bright yellow shirts with bright red trousers, it really is taking the piss.Put those words together and you'll give them the idea that we should Pay for Uniform.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
