well seeing as ,i thought,everybody is supposed to work the three weeks before christmas day(see another thread where the guys up in arms after the suggetion )that means everybody has extra people..the cover guys.so they take abit of your round,on towns and rurals. in our small office thats 2 extrpeople.
so each will take 30 minutes ofwork from rounds.towns that 4 rounds and rurals is 5 and if time they will do packets as well...ruaral /town relief...

fair to say we have not had it for 3 years...there ARE always those who seem to need operations /peternity leave/car accidents/stubbed toes.for such a small office its quite something as toour christmas sick rate. :whistle

You're right, there are extra staff, but there are also extra duties, collections, packets, IPS all increased.
