You are wrong. Your past years count towards your holiday entitlement.

You're right, back to the bottom of the pile for seniority, but past service does count towards leave entitlement.

A scenario i would like to raise on seniority. If another postperson is transfered to another delivery office on a conduct code issue do they carry their senioity with them ? Thus displacing people who have been at the same office for years without any conduct issue`s.
With the 2010 revision on the go with repicks this seems like a kick in the teeth for the postpersons in question.
Your Thoughts Please.

P.S. IS IT LEGAL ????.

Yes...you keep your seniority whether it's a voluntary or compulsory transfer...and yes it is legal...is it fair? :neutral:

When I was made redundant by Parcelforce my previous service whilst at Royal Mail was included in my pay-out. This was despite the fact that I had worked elsewhere in-between times.
