Without an agreement that is executive action!
28 days seem to be the norm.

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.

If your contract is Mon - Friday I very much doubt he can do this. I would ring up HR.
I def would not give up a contract which is Mon - Friday without a fight. Check your contract.

His contract does not say Mon-Fri , in fact he's only worked these hours since the last revision 18 months ago. Manager seems to agree with Postman and says 28 days is required.

I would give my left nut for a mon-fri duty. Wouldn't give that up without a fight they are rarer than a fart in a nunnery! 
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Change of content of duty no notice needs to be given.
Change to start finish times should be 4 weeks notice in writing.

Re: Changing Duty Times & Days
Executive Action in Royal Mail circumstances is where Management of any level impose a change, operational, contractual, attendance etc, without gaining agreement from the Union, or by withdrawing from an agreement.liamlayor wrote:Could anyone tell me where it says 4 weeks notice is requireed to change a duty and, Postman, what is the significance , or what are the implications ,of EXECUTIVE ACTION???

On the 4 weeks notice - Hopefully a Rep can answer that but I will research when I can and post if I find solid evidence.
