1in4 sats off or 75%25% its a trade off

[peterloo]

Been advised today we will increase our full-time quota in my office by 23 if we stay with 1 in 6 saturdays. if we go 1 in 4 no one will be made up.
Like the colleague shares i thought both were part of national agreement

we have neither but the BT2010 (and yes i know) cannot be renegotiated on the shopfloor.

just give a no to anything but the agreement would be my advice.

are management as stupid as the portray themselves? (and yes i know) now should be the time that we are in this together (PMSL).

very true though.

Or thats the way the planner bulides the duties.
you can have 3 f/t for every one p/t and still have 1 in 4 sats off for all.
3 f/t have rotating day off ......mon-tue-(thur/fri)-sat
p/t works as floater doing 3 full days.

Sounds like a good deal for the part timers wanting to be made up don't see what the full timers get out of it though.

We have this system full timers always work tues and wed and having a rotating day of mon,thur,fri and sat. Part timers never work tues, wed and work 3 full days mon,thu,fri and sat with a rotating day off...so when it's there weekend off they finish friday and return the following thursday...not to bad really.

That's the system we went with in the end.
No complaints after 5 months.We also have a large number on the 1 in 6 week off scheme.
It didn't stop us increasing our full-time ratio either
The only thing that effected the ft/pt split was the delivery span..longer more full-time..shorter less.

We also have a few 4 days weeks but they are going soon. The number of f/t has shot up I reckon about 3/4 of pt have gone full time now but we need em to do the walksorting otherwise we would never have a chance of getting out the office in time to have a hope of completing the new duties. The section with 4 days weeks on the otherhand are laughing....come in full prep(apart from the 4 day weekers) and out on delivery by 8.30 and back early....they are in for a shock when the 4 day deliveries go and they are in the same boat as the rest of us.

Also another strange/wrong think is the pt on the 3 day weeks are only needed to work 24 hours a week (3 x 8 hour days) but some are on 29 hour contracts. They have been told they will owe the office 5 hours a week - talk about having people over a barrel.

Thats the same statement made in my office today and backed by the ADR , increasing the full time ratio is the excuse.

P/t get 1 in every 4 same as every one else.
