Coming to the end of my 3 month contract

Post by boumplj »

Hi everyone,

My fixed term contract is up at the end of the month and I still don't know whether I've been kept on. I've asked my manager and he advised that it all depneds whether this other depot has any vacancies. I've spotted a vacancy at another depot in my area, can I asked to be considered for this? This is for another 3 month contract.

I'm really enjoying being a postman and will be gutted if I don't get kept on.

Any advice anyone has is appreciated.

Thanks

I did this last spring. I started at Xmas on Angard, transferred over to RM in Jan and in march saw a vacancy at my local office (10 miles closer to home). I spoke to my DOM about it and it all happened smoothly. Now I cycle to work for 6 mins not drive in traffic for 40 mins. :nana
You need to be transferring on the same terms though, and most DOMs will find a good reason not to take anyone with a bad sickness record. :cuppa
