Sorry but that's a "How long is a piece of string" question.briant_gumble wrote:What is a typical staff break down at a delivery office i.e how many posties, sorter's, line manager's etc.
The amount and mix depends on the area, function, type of deliveries, length of deliveries, FT/PT mix, and mail profile of the office and even Union strength in some cases.

Re: Staff breakdown at your delivery office
My office has about 60 staff per day
4 CSS Operators (Nights)
40(ish) full time staff - of these
about 20 on IPS/Packets for roughly 2.5 hours
12 double prepping (their own delivery and 1 sometimes 2 p/t deliveries
8 driving duties (mix of crew bus and factories
1 PHG in the locker
1 in the Callers Office
1 Admin Office
10- 15 p/t on either 25 or 30 hour contracts (prep/finish prep and go)
2/3/4 linos depending on the coffee machine
1 DOM (Not on a Saturday)
We struggle every day, cut offs, whole walks not delivered, packet backlogs every few weeks and let's not mention the number of staff now taking time off for stress, sick levels at an all time high. Neither management nor staff seem to give a toss these days.

Re: Staff breakdown at your delivery office
Dont give this info unless you want to give your name as well.
An inventory listing all jobs is a signature! no two offices the same.
Share but dont share all!
(this poster has about 2 posts)
eg there are 30in our office 6 are part timers
1 manager 1 packet office/locker
thats would about the limit of what i would share and what value does that info hold.
one office might cover 20 small villages... one other mostly town rounds.
All means little without knowledge of
population, mileages. demographic breakdown ie industrial v domestic, old v young & rich v poor.

Re: Staff breakdown at your delivery office
There are no sorters who are not posties we all sort collectively first thing as the mail arrivesbriant_gumble wrote:What is a typical staff break down at a delivery office i.e how many posties, sorter's, line manager's etc.
then after approx 90minutes we take the walk-sorted mail to our frames to sort to address.
about a third of our rounds are driving this varies hugely office to office.
A percentage of posties are pt some dont have their own rounds.
a small office is 20 bodies or less one manager no lino.
one locker
40 posties 2 manager 2 in locker
I can only generalize about the offices ive been to1
