The banking of hours was part of P&M but it never reached the stage where it was implemented but you can be asked to work 30 minutes over to cover unforeseen workloads, just remember that you can be held in your office and made to do any work that will take you up to your contracted hours.

management bank hours every day they clear off home.

or is this the start of staff having to come back and sign when finishing there duty.

as soon as you have a quite day, managers think of savings the rest of the week dont count.

ignore the other posts,im a unit rep & no they cannot bank hours or claw them back form another day, hours are to be utilized on a daily basis its their problem if they cannot fill your hours on a tuesday. but my advise to you if you were in my ofiice wud be dont come in early,dont use your car& dont come back early,if your doing any of those you are f***ing the job up & asking for problems!

There's always stuff to do if you come back before your contract finish time, ASAPs, D2D and deads for a start (if need be on another frame than your own)...

no no no,the 30 minuite flexability rule from 2007 states that he can (ASK) you to work 30 minuits over in the case of an unforseen sercumstance like a bulk posting or if say the mail centre has hsd a powercut & the mail comes late,but it is always up to (YOU) if you work over,not a manager. tell him this and he will know its right.

Didn't part of the reason we went on strike was because of the abuse by management of P&M. :hmmmm

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.

Ahhh, he's one of the nasty, lying, feckers....of which, there are many.

Only one person can make you do overtime........YOU.

Tell silly bollox to go f**k himself next time he tries to be a two-bit conman.
