Planning Time

Post by noncwumember »

How long does it take, from Planners starting revisions in D.O., to complete the processes, and ultimately resulting in VR offers.

We have the Planner in the office from this week.

We are told this may take sixteen weeks. When does preference exercise take place, and therefore when can we reasonably expect VR's to be offered.

Thanks.

Our planning started almost as soon as 2010 was accepted.Still waiting,new duties finally posted for us to see content.Not agreed yet. NO ONE IN OUR OFFICE has a chance of VR according to the DOM. RM can't afford any pay outs.
