If you mean the current BT2010 (DOC ) then that agreement wiped out all payment for D2Ds for everyone. The Delivery Supplement is based on function not role and is pro rata - thats the shortened version of this extract from the 2010:

Door to Door

Royal Mail and CWU recognise that the unaddressed Door to Door market provides an opportunity to grow volume which will potentially help to protect jobs and bring additional revenue into the business. It will also provide some protection against future threats from by pass networks.

To make the most of this opportunity, and fulfil employee aspirations both parties accept that Royal Mail needs to be able to realistically compete by being flexible with its pricing, providing the best quality of service and being innovative with its product development.

In order to provide the foundation for this approach and ensure customer confidence in the core product, Door to Door will become a 52 weeks a year product. There will be no change to the current D2D workplan and all items will continue to be available for delivery from Monday onwards. Whilst the planned workload will be spread across the 6 days, delivery employees will have the ability to manage the delivery of the items themselves on the proviso that all items are delivered within the week and the delivery specification is not affected.

D2D traffic will be placed into measured workload both indoor and outdoor. This move into workload will require delivery duties to be adjusted and allowances to be made in order to provide sufficient time to ‘prep’ the items and deliver them. The appropriate delivery planning and measurement systems and revision tools (IWT, Pegasus Georoute etc) will need to be adjusted accordingly to bring this about. D2D will now need to be accounted for in the agreed Delivery Revision Process. This move will enable the quality of service associated with Door to Door to be driven to 100% - which is crucial to building customer confidence.

The growth ambitions for Door to Door will be managed responsibly, and will be supported in the medium term by the roll out of delivery methods across units nationwide.

In the interim to ensure that D2D workload is covered effectively in line with this agreement, and in advance of units realigning duties through full revision activity to take account of D2D, resourcing of hours associated with the workload linked to D2D will be dealt with through locally agreed interim arrangements and reviewed through the weekly resourcing meetings in all delivery units. To aid the transition, offices that have not deployed delivery methods revisions will have to provide genuine and demonstrable solutions to any weight or volumetric issues.

In addition to the above special attention will need to be given to Bank Holiday weeks through the weekly resourcing meetings, units will also need to have agreed contingency arrangements in place for late arrivals.

It is important that we create a positive culture that supports our joint growth ambitions. In future D2D will become the responsibility of the OPG performing the delivery route and as such treated exactly the same as all other traffic streams. Managers, CWU reps and employees will all play a part in driving up the perception, awareness and importance of the Door to Door product.

Furthermore it is equally important that the process of moving D2D to the delivery/prep frame needs to become more professional and reliable. Particular attention will need to be paid to the correct presentation of Door to Door material to each delivery route in line with other mail items/products.

The CWU will be involved in quarterly review meetings, which will provide an opportunity for the CWU and Royal Mail to review operational challenges, product developments, and work together to identify new products and further growth opportunities, including the potential for automation which will be driven by commercial viability linked to volume.

Both parties also recognise that in addition to growth in the core D2D product further commercial opportunities are likely to exist particularly for named/specific day(s) products and/or Saturdays which may provide Royal Mail with additional scope for increased revenue. In order to take advantage of any potential in this area any further commercial opportunities will remain subject to ongoing dialogue, joint monitoring and review and will also be discussed and agreed with the CWU nationally at the quarterly review meetings with a view to capturing any viable opportunities for the mutual benefit of Royal Mail and its employees and to also deal with any workload issues.

To coincide with the introduction of the national agreement unit payments will cease and the 3 items per week cap will be removed. D2D Monies will be turned into a delivery supplement paid 52 weeks a year for all delivery employees (OPG and ORR) pro rata for part time employees.

Does any1 have or no where I can obtain a copy of the D2D agreement ? Been with Royal Mail for 10 years and yes still cant get 39 hrs a week contract, I would like to know what was in the agreement, why part timers get less than full timers ? was it that the full timers who (supposedly) Prep my round have the D2D's preped for me when I come in to work ? any 1 know the answer to this please ?

I will answer you specific question seperatly otherwise they would have got lost with the size of the extract.

PT get less than FT because the delivery Supplement is Pro-rata. However, if you do OT then your pay rate goes up to include the Delivery Supplement. That happens once you reach your contracted hours till you reach 39/40 hours.

Was it so that FT prep your D2Ds - No that is up to local arrangments nothing to do with the National agreement. If they are meant to prep your D2Ds then take it up with someone.

Are you saying that the delivery supplement increases with hours worked up to a max of 40hrs? I regularly work 40 hrs covering a full time walk and have a 30hr contract but only get around £16 del supp per week.

No!!!! the Del Supp on your pay slip should still remain the same, but from what other members have posted on here when they do overtime uo to 39/40 there is another entry for the OT hours which includes the Del Supp for those hours.

as a part timer on only 20 hours(which makes the job impossible without d2d) i get no extra time to prep d2d, so nowadays after constant nagging the dom get the full timers to prep the d2d's for all partimers in our office

[malstron]

Thanks for so many replys :-)

When you go over your contract hrs i.e. 30 your 31st hr is about £9.37 an hr. not £8.60ish (not sure exact i buy hols)
Thus if you did 40hrs your pay would be exactly the same as a full timer including the del supplement
40hrs wage = £354 + supplement £20.27 Total £374.27
30hrs wage = £265.50 + supplement £15.20 Sub Total £ 280.70 + 10hrs O/T @ 9.35(£93.50) = £374.20 Approx

now this is right a pt is paid no different than a ft check your wage slip and you'll see this.
Did you not notice the over your contract hrs go up, did you not have more wages than before?
unless you don't go over your hrs!!

Any fool should know that 20hr bods (5x4hrs)can't prep anything.
Should just be pick up and go.
And don't forget your 20mins meal relief.
