This has been covered in this thread http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... n+overtime" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Basic answer is it is in line with the agreement - Its your contract hours you are buying down not the actual amount of hours you work. If they buy down hours then when they are sick on on holiday they only get their contracted hours. But if you asking a moral question it could get messy.
