Park and Loop Query
Been working in another office this week - it's a complete mess since they went to van sharing. I hardly had chance to talk to anyone there but was wondering what happens to the people on 5 hour contracts when this comes in? If each walk is 4.5 hours do they still have people on a 5 hours contract as it seems tight to me?

If by 5hr contracts you mean 5hrs/day - 25hr contracts:Sime83 wrote:Been working in another office this week - it's a complete mess since they went to van sharing.

3x 8hr 20 days, or 4x 6hr 15 days.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: Park and Loop Query
Most of our 25hr contacts moved to a 3 day week.
One guy didn't want to.
We made a delivery-only stand-alone duty for him.
His large packets,specials and tracked went to one of the firms duties.

Ah thanks. Yes thats what I meant, I wondered if they just gave you more hours but working less days makes sense.

The duty just reverts to prep and delivery and a full-time reserve covers it.clashcityrocker wrote:What happens on his day off/ annual leave?
Still stand-alone though.
