claiming payments you are not entitled to is

the fact that when you receive your wages you make a declaration that their is no overpayment and that you are entitled to it

the point i am making is how can you do say 80 hours in a week and not contravene the working time directive for a start if you have not opted out
and has that gone over 48 hours in a 17 week period

may i ask how long you have been employed by royal mail a/flyer
what payment are you not enititled to? in this scenario and why?

what difference does it make how long i have worked for royal mail? as its a question about employment law that you obviously arent that clued up on, so length of service of royal mail doesnt matter

That, my dear fellow, is a backtrack!

It can actually be unlawful.
Employers are not allowed to "buy back" statutory annual leave which i would suggest is exactly what they are doing,however since it's a voluntary arrangement who exactly is going to take it to an Employment Tribunal?...not the employee or the employer so it really is a pointless argument.
The only important fact is it's in breach of our collective agreement so the rep should be flagging it up to branch and HQ...end of story.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I heard that Dunfermline DO were carrying forward 2500 days of annual leave,and when the union asked how they were going to resolve the problem,the manager came up with a thirteen year plan that would keep him within his budget!!
