We have a female PHG in our office who thinks she runs the business and is always passing judgement on other less senior staff than her.. i think many of our limp wristed managers are scared of her and let her get away with lots of stuff... she also has the longest meal breaks of any post worker i know,very often she goes out shopping too,DaveF14 wrote:Just a quick question really. Does PHG have any authority over normal postie? With being on same pay grade and all.
Im saying this because our new PHG, who was a normal delivery postie before, seems to love the new role and taking it in her stride to boss the delivery posties about.
..she is very quick to criticize staff who make errors,but when she does and is pulled up by one or two managers who dare to stand up to her she does the old 
crying bit which tends to frighten them off...as you can see i am not very fond of her,but then again i think around 70% of other staff in our office think the same!krussel wrote:halfull wrote:phg's are just bone idle and do their best to get out of any real work and sit around telling tales and kissing managers arse's.
Thas prob a bit harsh
However they do see who's coming back early and often pass that to the Dom. Trouble is i think it would pee me off if i was having to work my full time and see others making loads or working OT within their duty time.
You don't get paid any extra for doing the locker work unless you have grandfather rights as to what was formerly a PHG duty. Everyone is now an OPG, the reason you may have been paid extra is in a supervisory role if you were controlling other staff, otherwise you have been erroneously paid and when they find out they will ask you to pay it back.Thunderthighs wrote:Just as an "aside" on a similar line...I cover the Locker about 2hrs per week, sometimes over 10 - 15hrs. I was told there's an "PHG" Extra Payment, Pro Rata, for the extra responsibility etc. So, as I hadn't claimed this for months, and NO ONE else had, I gave the Boss a backdated list of outstanding hours. I was paid in about 2wks, £100 or so.
However, the same situation has arisen, and my backdated hours are no where to be seen..so far.
I've yet to ask the Boss where the 2nd amount is, and wonder if he's forgotten? Been about 5wks so far. Should I press my case???
( Also, when I covered the Locker for MONTHS a few yrs back, being new, I wasn't informed of the enhanced rate..til a year or so later. Typical...)
Thanks for any advice/info.
Heard that all MC staff have an extra 20 minutes on top of the extra 10 minutesjoshbaby wrote:Heard at Nottingham Mail Centre that the ex-PHG's get extra 10 minutes on there break, begs the question as to why or is there still a two tier OPG Grade.
You missed the bit out about they all want gassing along with the management..halfull wrote:phg's are just bone idle and do their best to get out of any real work and sit around telling tales and kissing managers arse's.
