Some of us have got zillions of "electoral communications" to do this week as well - and I saw some boxes of D2Ds being chucked onto frames on New Years Eve ...

... it's going to be "interesting" :wink:

5 days = 20%/day.

If the British Medical Journals arrived a day late would they go in the excess york?
Which bit of live mail do people find difficult to understand?
You do the appropriate %/day and if you can't complete within your duty hours you claim or cut off.

as i understand it these pizza companies ect have paid for their leaflets to be delivered in a certain timeframe(buy one get one free between 26th dec /31st dec) if they havent been placed at my frame within the timescale then not my problem ,unless the dom and rep jointly say they have to be delivered then i wont deliver them ,they should go back to perth or where ever they go these days.as usual down to local agreements which seem to be more a nod and wink than any thing agreeded by the members

So getting back to what Clash asked: If the same thing happened with for example a letter, or packet. Would you just dump that in the excess York? :hmmmm

The National Agreement (Business Transformation 2010 and Beyond) reached between Royal Mail and the CWU requires that Door to Door (D2D) will be placed into measured workload and delivered over 6 days, 52 weeks a year.

Balancing D2D across the week
• Prep and deliver at least 1/6th of D2D each day starting from Monday.
• On Bank Holiday weeks the D2D should be based on at least 1/5th delivery per day.
• On Mondays, people may also wish to sort D2D items to any delivery points which are known to receive mail infrequently, reducing the need for cold calling later in the week.
• Delivery employees can manage locally their approach to delivery of D2D as long as all items are delivered to specification. Any local practice will not alter the planning method, which is based on delivery of at least 1/6 of items per day.

It's my day off today (Tuesday), I've got 5 lots (1 in 1 box, 3 in 2 boxes, and the last is 3 boxes) and my duty's being covered by OT so I doubt any will get done. :evil/mad

EDIT: And we don't get any extra time because of the failing volumes.

Five lots for moi; two of them newspapers, one farmfoods, one british gas a4, one envelope-sized.

Haven't done any yet - will ponderously throw in a quarter tomorrow when I get in.
