PT to FT.

Post by moyas slave »

hi, does anybody know of a DO that has promoted any PT colleagues up to full time as agreed in the BT2010?

it seems that whenever there is a problem at our DO they were throwing about the £1000 statement but that is wearing very thin, so now its the well how many of you want full time hours?

i dont personally but just feel there are others in the office being set up for a fall.

Has been mentioned on here that PT to FT has happened.

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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

We've only had it through consistant cutting off and where full time hasn't been reached part timers have had their hours increased. Its all about not doing overtime i'm afraid!!!

Play RM at their own game, work the hours you are paid and nothing more, the job doesn't get done and this forces them to increase hours
CUT OFF!!!

I will be going back to FT as we have 4 vacant duties all FT and are losing only 2 jobs thus leaving 2 FT vacaies.

Our sole 20 hour contract man is going up to 30 hours, his existing delivery is merging with another and his hours moved across to the new estate which will become his new delivery patch. As the estate grows the DOM will offer him more hours all the way up to 39 hour week. Only problem is once he is FT and there is re pick of duties following delivey methods revision he will go to being reserve as he hasn't enough seniority to hold a duty.

cheers daz, 1.5% is slightly better i suppose.

the way its being banded round our office its like all 25 and 30 hour crew will be made up some time soon.
management have most of the part timers jumping through hoops at the promise of it and i can just see that in another years time nothing will have changed.

Our DIM has said after our Revision they'll be only FT (39/40Hrs) and 24 hr (3 x 8 hr days). So we'll be losing 20, 22.5 & 30 hr contracts. That's going to upset some PTers who don't want the extra hours. :sad:
However if it means some PTers will be able to get FT that's good news! :Very Happy

How and why,it's not down to the managers,it's down to what YOU guys decide in YOUR revision.

Successfully got one made up from 32hr to 40 last year, and have just advertised for anyone wanting a raise in hours for an as yet unknown number of duty time increases, at least 2 is what im told).

2 things to remember 1. our pt/ft ratio was disgusting prob - 60% PT. 2. Unfortunately these are only temporary contract increases until the full revision later this year (sept and slipping).

My hope is that if the revision continues to slip then these contracts will become the norm and we can fully include them at there increased hourage in the revsision.

Yes ours because of the revision and the WSM machinery carrys 40 hour duties so anyone who is successful in applying who is only part time will be made full time.
