worktime learning?
how is worktime learning built in to our hours cz im partime and in my office i have to come in 30 minuits early every wednesday for it? is this right cz to me im working 30 minuits longer one day each week so how is this built into my time as we are told?? also the managers do wtl on a tuesday when its light then get us to come in 30 minuits early on a heavy day like wednesday? to me wtl is being used as a tool to stop me booking pressure on a heavy day! the fulltimers or phg's never have to come in early? can someone clear this up for me please!

Re: worktime learning?
wtl....whats that?
when i was a postie i never had it cos the meeting was every friday at 9:10. My start time was 9:25.
Now i'm a driver, the driver wtl is abt 7:00am, i dont start til the afternoon so i still dont get it.
I wouldnt come in early unless i was paid for it.

Worktime learning and listening, the bane of my life. A waste of good coffee drinking time. Same shite every week.

Re: worktime learning?
Admittedly, I work indoors, so it could be different. But we have ours whenever there's a lull in the workload. It's just, fit it in when you can. But I don't think that'd work in Deliveries. Do you even have lulls in the workload anymore?

Easiest & most popular day for it is a Tuesday.halfull wrote:so how do you do it? when and what day in your duty time & how do you work the 30 minuits we are paid for it?noggin1969 wrote:WTL should be 30mins built into duty time
It should be built into the 318 duty structure of every duty, eg 6-7-30 IPS, 7-30-8-30 prep frame, 8-30-9-00 WTL etc.
In reality and most cases 20 & 25 hour PT aren't in office while WTL takes place, so mainly only FT have the pleasure

built into the working week so we are entitled to time

this they should (imo) buy the time back off us. : (pigs will sprout wings sooner)
