Just take 3 6ths....simples!!
No it's not as simple as that...your D.O. should have a plan in place to deal with bank holidays...failing the contract is not part of that plan.
Leave it to the managers to manage but i can guarantee you will be taking out more than 1/6th per day...if that means you are booking O/T or cutting off then that is the way to deal with it.
Door to door was ALWAYS suspended Christmas week for obvious reasons. If the idiots in charge insist on inflicting them upon us this year ten hit them where it hurts and send them a clear message while getting your tips.....,

DON'T BE BULLIED INTO STRUGGLING AND PRESSURIZED FOR NOTHING, THE ONLY LANGUAGE THEY UNDERSTAND IS MONEY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE PAYING OUT, ITS THE ONLY FIGURES THEY WORRY ABOUT!

According to my diary, with Christmas and Boxing day falling on the Saturday and Sunday, both Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are bank holidays in lieu. Will we getting a nice long 4 day break to get boozed up, or are Scroogal Mail going to make us the only workforce pounding the streets with New Year's Day Sale D2D leaflets on the Tuesday?
Anyone?
Keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed for 4 days off.
Yes,it's 4 days off.

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. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
In England
Sat 1st Jan will be a non-service day.....if it's your day off....tough.
Mon 3rd Jan will be a Bank Holiday(substitute)....if it's your day off you will get it back.
In Scotland
Sat 1st Jan will be a non-service day.....if it's your day off....tough.
Mon 3rd Jan will be a Bank Holiday(substitute)....if it's your day off you will get it back.
Tue 4th Jan will be a Bank Holiday(substitute)....if it's your day off you will get it back.

The English like an extra day to roll their eggs. We like to drink
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.
urred to me that there will only be 3 days to deliver that weeks D2D's! I bet the overlords will be paid a pretty penny for that batch whilst we slog our guts out.
