christmas days off

[catch22]

can anyone clarify what days royal mail doe not run for over the christmas period?

[DGP1]

On delivery it's 25th and 26th December, also 1 January.

[catch22]

what happens if your day off falls on the 25th... or the 1st jan..?
cheers

You get either a day in lieu or OT

I have never known anyone be paid o/t if their day off falls on a Bank Holiday.

[PhilthyPhil]

me neither, but it is in the agreement:



3.4 Rest days will apply in line with normal year round arrangements. Attendances may be varied by local agreement to take account of workload forecasts and service requirements. Where workload requires people can volunteer to work their normal rest day in return for a day in lieu or scheduled attendance

Where a rest day falls on a Bank Holiday (i.e. 25, 26 December or 1 January, plus 2 January in Scotland) and it is not operationally sensible to transfer the rest day to another day in the same week people will receive an additional day holiday (including those working ‘a week off in six’ or other variations on this theme) in the form of a day in lieu or alternatively the excess hours can be taken as normal overtime

Certainly will be a disaster.
Not all of us are so dim, we don't know that Royal Mail Management will absolutely slaughter the delivery staff on the Friday, Saturday, and will show not the slightest vestige of mercy on xmas eve.
Makes me so ill thinking about it, I feel like phoning in now.

Nope, not in my neck of the woods.

Packets and parcels will be the problem AGAIN this year. I predict a backlog if the weather turns nasty.

No, it's your normal day off so they can't change it (in theory anyway).

[cyberheater]

I'm working to my time on Xmas eve. Not a minute longer.
