[stevepostman]

Both started on the same day Who the senior man?

[baldrick]

Not certain, but I believe it's the older person.

[eian687]

pretty sure it age

[baldrick]

I know it used to be age, but I thought that might have changed after Age Discrimination legislation.

[Stormproof]

It is age, definitely.

Fishtank has posted elsewhere that it goes on:
1. Any previous employment service with Royal Mail.
2. Date of selection.
3. Date of birth.

3. COMMENCING EMPLOYMENT ON THE SAME DAY
Where several employees have the same length of service (as defined above), the
agreement provides for seniority to be determined in the following order: firstly, any periods
of Post Office service on other grades (i.e. longest total PO service first), secondly, date of
selection (i.e. earliest date first) and thirdly, date of birth (i.e. oldest first). For employees
recruited since the date of the agreement (14 February 2000), “date of selection” will be
defined as follows: firstly date of the letter offering employment (earliest first), if still equal
then date of interview (earliest first), if still equal then date of test (earliest first). If then still
equal then the third “date of birth” criterion is considered as above.

For employees recruited before 14 February 2000, it will not be practicable to re-visit records
of recruitment processes that took place in some cases many years previously. Therefore,
purely as a one-off exercise used only to separate employees with exactly the same length
of service, the date of selection and date of birth criteria above will be replaced with: firstly,
existing substantive grade (highest first), if still equal then position on existing locally agreed
seniority list (highest first). In applying this last criteria the local seniority list must be one
that conforms with the previous national agreement, and in particular one where the
provisions of the part-time harmonisation agreement have been fully applied. Where
employees are added into an existing list (e.g. following transfer) where there are already
other employees who started on the same day, every effort should be made to apply the
date of selection criterion to determine a placing. Where this is not possible then date of
birth should be used.

It happened to me years ago and i lost out because the other chap got more in the test when we started!!!

I believe it is based on the size of your manhood. Whoever has the biggest, has the most seniority.

Anyone able to post a link to the document stating these seniority guidelines? We have a couple of people in our office questioning the list as they may have got the order wrong for a group of people with same start date, thanks

Where several employees start on the same day, the following factors will determine the relative order: firstly, any periods of Post Office service on other grades, secondly, date of selection and, thirdly, date of birth
