Cutting Off Guidelines

[Gills_Postie]

If a manager suggested to me that i work through my meal relief id be putting in a grievance asap. Ive been through that 'cutting off' form procedure. Laughable.

[SexyLegs]

Just rung him, he advised me to put in a grievance!

[SexyLegs]

Also, was told by a manager that willy nilly use of the grievance form is frowned upon, is there really any limit to the number of grievances you can put in?

[internetguy]

what does putting a grievance in about a manager actually do..?. the manager we have now has had loads put in against him yet he carries on so again, whats the point..?

I really don’t know how they can say its wilful delay nowadays as the Royal Mail is wilful delaying stuff themselves. I know offices where packets are stored in other rooms such as canteens, garages etc because they are so much behind.
The public has paid good money for a packet to be delivered 1st class next day and RM are not delivering, that’s wilful delay and fraud..
Anyway I have brought mail back many times and they never have done naff all about it, reason being if it went to court a judge would say to RM “what time does this chap get paid to” RM “2 30” Judge “ and what time did the chap finish” RM “2 30 your honour then case dismissed you cannot sack him” the mangers are calling our bluff over this can’t bring it back once its gone out.. Try it one day they will s**t it.
Stand your ground folks and you don’t have to tell them why you won’t go over.
Nine times out of ten the mangers mumble and walk away, always have a witness if this arises or tape them on your phone.

Update: Been having a cut off interview every day filling in a cut off form, these things are priceless:-

These things may be priceless but they are unagreed and should be flagged up to your ADR immediately.

Area Managers hare told line managers that if postman cuts off, the mail left in has to the taken out by the line mangers - hence they give postman a hard time.

[SexyLegs]

Nando - That is exactly right!

Postman - 26 per minute, prep rate on a frame I barely know, jokers, w*****s, all of the above!

Area Rep came down today to 'discuss' with DOM, I await the outcome!

Mail very heavy again today, so cut off again, set the precedent now so gotta see it through......right???

[POSTMAN]

Postman - 26 per minute, prep rate on a frame I barely know, jokers, w*****s, all of the above!

Yes,but it's a ONE MINUTE test and nothing else!
And i'm sure it's IPS and not prep.

The figure of 22.5 or 25 is a simple count of how many letters you can put in your frame in 1 minute.

When asked to fill in a cut off form, the one and only time I ever did cut off the explanation read "time management failure beyond my control" . Try it, they might not like it. What can they do to in response to such a response. My guess is not respond

[fishtank]

Has anyone got one of these "cut off forms"?
I would like to see it for myself..

[BELIAL]

It will be a "local" thing ,unofficial like
