starting at another office
After our revision the vans have to be parked at another office (no space at ours) so effectively you start work there.My question do you get travel allowance?

Re: starting at another office
Have you not argued that you go to your parent office at your start time then get transferred to where the vans are parked.
How far away are both.

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.

Re: starting at another office
What POSTMAN means is that if your start time is 0600 then that's the time you turn up at this "other" office to pick up the vans and if your finishing time is 1400 then that's the time you drop the van off at this "other" office.shepherdess wrote:result ?
You are basically being paid to move vans around....result!
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Re: starting at another office
what your saying here is you think you have effectively been transfered to this neighbouring office? where do you park your car ? are you saying you have to travel two miles further to this new office ? or is there a mini bus at your office taking you to pick the vans up from the neighbouring office ?shepherdess wrote:After our revision the vans have to be parked at another office (no space at ours) so effectively you start work there.My question do you get travel allowance?

Re: starting at another office
as postman says you should be reporting to your place of work first ie sign on as their always reminding us
you start your day at parent office if they want you to move vans absolutely yes but in their time withinn your hours
their problem let them manage thats what their paid for

Re: starting at another office
There is no mini bus to take us down we are being told to start at the other office. i think we should start at our own office and get transfered over
