New Menu Of Duty Options

[Big Daz]

weeks rather than days

Sign me up

[plainpat]

Never heard of it, 6 week, 4 week and 6 week with a Saturday off as well, which gives 2 Saturdays in every 6 off work.

Thanks BD. Maybe the 6 week with a saturday off is the Wallington Plus then - sounds about right.

Ex colleague had asked me what it was

Stormproof you will be allowed to remain on your wallington stysem that is not an issue. The only reason it was not in the menu of options is that it does not give 1 in 4 saturdays off and therefore did not meet the terms of the agreement. However offices have opted to stay and that will be allowed. However remember on the 5 weeks you will be working on Saturdays you will be doing a normal day.

Thats why some wallington systems have looked at the wallington plus system which allows for an extra day off every two weeks and in some cases more than that dependent on workload.

Can u guarentee this m8,we are going through our one to ones now and everyone in our do without exception has nominated our current one week off in 6 wallington as there first choice,only to be told that while royal mail will take our views into account,if the planning team deem that other duty patterns are more cost effective then they will be the ones implemented.So basically the planning team have the final say and we,re shafted yet again.

Thats not what we've been told, we do 1 in 6, and think nearly everyone will pick to stay as we are.

Final say is the mbrs through the office vote

[Big Daz]

there some people interested in a alternative attendance pattern at my D.O but the majority will want no change as 1st preference. Have had a few mbrs say for my D.O they want the rotating day off but stay on 5 day week. 75% no change from 5 day week fixed day off and 25% something different, is my prediction for my D.O.

i want more saturdays off, 10 hour days or whatever....it would be so good to have some proper weekends. i know it differs with peoples circumstances but think our office is of the same general thinking

I'm hoping ours is the same - anything that gets me more time off is fine by me. I've got a feeling a lot of people are going to vote to keep the current 5 day week with a rotating day off though

What about the new version of that as shown in the national menu of options where you get 2 in 6 satrurdays off, would that be popular?

[Stormproof]

I had to fill in a preference form this morning about what system I wanted to work.
Had a choice of:
5 day with day off.
5 day with fixed SA
5 on 1 off
I picked 5 on 1 off, chose that last time but never got it.

Why only 3 options?

I'd like the three day week option with the £3million bonus that some folks got. I'm dead sure I could match their record of f***ing up the service beyond recognition,and make a loss to boot
