6 hours - 2 hours for sorting 3.5 hours for delivery and .5 for bits in between. It is easier day for full timers. It can be useful for floating week off but it is not great but it paid for my last holiday in one week work. It is better than doing half of walk overtime.

When he says sorting does he mean prepping.
I know it depends on the office but some have 6hrs to prep and do walk,the 2hrs (IPS) is absorbed.

Minds gone blank,does he get meal relief in that.

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.

They kept cutting the hours for working your day off in our office but still the greedy ones came in. I stopped a long time ago.

I am PT but if they just all said 'no' to getting paid less and less then they'd have to pay them the full amount - can't see further than their noses though.

I'm a 6hr day. 30 mins meal break. But you do everything except IPS. It does not work very well.
